Now That I Know

"Loving you has never been easy"
Played out in my head, over and over for years
Never anymore words
Just that simple, random line
of a song, or a poem, or a thought.
No words before, none after.  

I never knew.

Attribution came easy, time and again
Each man, each love, each leaving.  
Pieces or myself, of my heart
Of my soul, each leaving.  
The unraveling, the pieces to pick up
The screaming, the sadness, the breaking, the building.

I never knew.  

But tonight, in the mirror
There it was, standing in front of me
The messenger, the prayer, the accuser
I tried each time to give her time
But she stole from me, turned her back on me
And asked me to get back up and do it again.

And I never knew
'Loving you has never been easy'
Was me
Speaking to me.
