I Laughed About You

I laughed about you the other day
And then I paused, and stopped, to think about
How far I had come.  The wheel has spun around again.
Yesterday I was upside down, but now I'm standing
On my own two feet.  Now I can laugh about you--
You, the one who broke my heart, and left me to
Bleed.You, the child in the body of a man.I found
myself free of the heartbreak you left behind,when you
left me behind.I laughed about you. That's more
testimony to the fact that I'm not the same
girl that you knew. That is, if you ever really knew me
at all. Right now I'm almost positive that you only saw
in me the things that you wanted to see. We two are both
Guilty of the same sin, I suppose. But I am a fool no longer,
I don't even miss you anymore. It's amazing what
360 degrees of an ever-turning wheel can do to someone's persepctive.  
Perhaps I should spell it out for you, perhaps you don't understand.
I laughed about you the other day.You can't hurt me anymore.
