You said I'd be so easy to love
and you turned
and walked away
my heart
left in pieces
with nothing I could say.
Like your
favorite bathrobe
soft, warm,
comfortable to wear
I was
the one
you would always choose,
and you turned
and walked away,
my mind,
confused,
needing understanding
left wondering if
that was our last day.
You said
our friendship needed time
for us to get used too,
me surrounding you
would be so easy
until your cares
were gone,and you turned
and walked away,
leaving me
with empty
aching arms,
for it was so easy
for me
to love only you.
