She heard your voice For the first time in a month It made her remember What she wanted to forget: Your conversation Your laughter Your friendship Your time spent with her. And, for a moment, it made her forget What she must always remember: Your mockery Your inconsistency Your indecency Your lies. You pushed her. You pulled her. You wanted what you couldn't have. And when she'd had enough of the pushing, the pulling, the fluctuating demands, She tried to rescue her heart Without leaving a hole in yours. Turns out that she couldn't even leave a dent Because you could never take her seriously. You accused her of weakness; You put all the blame on her Because she was always willing to apologize And admit that she was wrong. You were used to her understanding; Therefore, you could do no wrong. Well, sir, she has news for you! You were so, so wrong! You did what you wanted with her And left her all alone. Then you tried to take her back Because you could do no wrong! But she saved herself from you. She took back her aching heart. She no longer listened to your excuses Because she knew that she deserved more. More than your mockery, Your inconsistency, Your indecency, Your lies. She quit letting you get to her. She may not have been right In everything she did. But, sir, she has news for you! You were so, so wrong! Now she is flying solo, Safe, successful and far away from you. She dealt with all the anger. She was left with all the pain. And this is why she hated Hearing your voice again. -Claremarie
