I don't mind

And I guess I don't mind that you leave me here to fight myself within.

I don't mind that you stay an arms length away from my soul because you don't need it anymore.

Nothing changes, nothing evolves when we stay this way.

How might I creep out of this tomb, this shadow of life when I keep falling back?

What does it mean when you say you don't need me anymore?

The damage hangs on me and that black stain follows.

It's emotional chaos cluttered in every thought, circling endlessly around my neck.

And I guess I don't mind the lies that keep you alive in spite of my pain.

I don't mind that you bury me below these selfish stones of necessity because you don't need me anymore.

The damage hangs on me and that black stain follows.

My thoughts slip into the dark and they remain quietly in the silhouettes of life.

My heart floats into the night and cannot escape to feel the light of day.

And I guess I don't mind that I am an empty shell because you took all you could with nothing to spare.

I don't mind that you never could see me in this crowd because you don't need me anymore.

Sometimes people leave us for selfish and this poem definitely describes that situation. Great poem
