Outsider

When did I stop being enough?

At what point did you stop seeing me

All that's seen in those eyes I love

Is hatred and disgust

Are we no longer a unit?
Has the "unbreakable chain" been unlinked

Or is there a branch I don't know of?

Is the bond gone?

When did the light of my existence 

Become a shadow to your happiness

Just when did my sunshine

Turn into your rain?

Can't I say something

Don't I have a case to present in this court?

I'll represent myself against your closed heart

If needs be I'll be the bailiff too

These doors of yours are unbearable

I'd been inside of them once and thought,

And took for granted,

That I belonged there

Being on the outside has never worried me before

But I've never been on the outside of your heart

I've never been outside of us

It feels weird and so wrong

But I'll not bang on your doors

Nor shall I knock and wait in desperate anxiety

No, my love, you put me out so I'll go

But I'll leave my address behind

If to you what I did was wrong

If that is what caused this tragedy

My dear that's your problem

If that's why I've lost your favour

I put my hands in the pocket of my jeans 

And walk away knowing that it's towards better horizons

it was meant 2 be sad. Glad 2 see that it was effective

I love the poem! It's wonderfully written and flows with a well woven pulse of emotional energy. It does make me sad though, as one never knows if they are in the wrong or if it was simply a mis-understanding, or if they were right and it was arrogance that causes such a poem to exist.

Great Ink!
