You're not the one
I don't even know who you are any more
The voice that once carried love
Bears only contempt for me now.
My slightest action provokes venomous attack
Your every word designed to cut my heart.
How can a lover bacome such a stranger?
(You begged the key to my thoughts
And then locked them in silence)
How can a stranger cause such pain?
I would never know how to hurt you.
I would never want to.
Your memory lies in my every action
Dimming my newfound felicity.
As I dance with another
To a song we never heard together
I imagine your face in the crowd, full of distaste
Distaste for my companion.
My surroundings.
My self.
And suddenly I understand:
It was never my love you resented,
It's my ability to be happy, when you find only enemies.
