I stand before you now,
Silent, patient, waiting
New to you,
Yet more me
Than I've ever been
While you,
Look anywhere
But at me
Using your foot
To try and cover
The cracks
In a floor
You thought
Was solid
But I could
Always see
It breaking
Little pieces,
Flaking
Away
And I'm wondering
Now,
How
Can we move forward
When you won't
Even look
At me
Could you ever
Accept me
Knowing
I'll never be
Her
Again
