I wanted to speak to you;
just a few words,
to tell you
you were right
all those years ago
when you said
I’d found a way to ignore
all the people that cared,
so that I could chase
my own desires
and that one day
it would cost me
all the most precious things
in my life.
You said I would be alone
and I would hate it
and the guilt would drive me mad.
Now I suffer,
like you knew I would
and I can hear you
in a far off corner of my mind;
laughing.
