The Disappearing Man – Poem – 12/11/08

You’re here for a moment, then you’re gone
Just when I thought you’d stay you moved on
So I act as if the end is already here
Sick to my stomach with unsettling fears
Can’t eat, don’t want to call your phone
Assuming you’re probably happier alone
You play me for a fool, the disappearing man
Cowering in silence with closed hands
How many times have you ignored me this week
How many times did you wish you could speak
And say to me, I prefer you to let me be
Trapped in my murkiness and sullen insecurity
All I know of your heart is a song by Tool
You push as I pull, you claw me away, being cruel
I face another bleak December – you detached
I had such a joyous November – thought I was matched
Up with someone who wanted me in his heartlight
Instead of someone who would rather just write
Me off and pretend that I never existed
Your love is just so twisted
