Tell Me.

Tell Me.

A Poem by And She Sings
"

Are you satisfied?

"
Are you happy now?
Happy with the dirty looks 
Presented to me 
By strangers.
Happy with a            hole
In the universe 
We used to 
Share?
Happy with the summer
Past that's now long
Grown cold and
Empty?
Are you happy
That I care now?
Are you happy
That it hurts now?
Would it even matter 
If I said it out loud?
Would it make you
feel better
If I wrote it all down?
Would you crumple
the paper and throw it
away?
Would you tell me, with 
your patent blank face, that,
"It's okay,"?
The back bumper's rusted,
The tires are flat.
The memories made
Were left in the back.
The swing set is empty.
The trees are all bare.
And though you are mad,
I don't think you care.
It takes two to tango,
And we both know it's true.
The fault is with me
As much as with you.
I can't help but remember how
Your lips felt against mine.
How the way you laughed
always made your eyes shine.
How my eyes shine now
As I write this to you.
How I know you don't 
Need this as much as I do.
But I can't need this anymore.
I can't need you anymore.
I need me.
This is a time that can't
Be wasted by love.
By petty arguments
or by things I can't control.
I'm done now.
Let me know when you are, too.
