Everything I did with you
I do alone
Everything you did with me
You do with him
What do you see in him
That I could not see
In myself?
The scent of anger and remorse
Lingers through memories
I thought sweet
I sent out and sought for love
Your idea of it
Tipped the scale; holding you
In the highest regard
Your touch
Brought a subtle selfishness
To a forgiving feeling
Cemented in time
One cannot recover
From something so,
Irreplaceable
For you,
Time will heal
What you failed to feel.
