In the dark recesses of my mind
Scary dingy places where your darkness overwhelms me
Slimy cold places and I cannot find my way out
I offered you generous bouquets of love and acceptance which you pretend not to see
In pain, you lash out
You hit me first - I dared stand closest -
Now we share the pain of rejection
I question what in me made you this way
I turn to ask
But I dare not stand that close again
