so now we play the healing game
it goes like this, your claim to fame:
i turn deaf ears
i fear to hear
i close my eyes
i cringe to see
i do not know how to heal
me. or you.
i know not how to
i do not know how to feel
now this is true
i know not how to
i do not miss your love
that was all about you,
that double edged blade,
that weapon for my destruction
(but i sometimes miss you).
i do not miss your clemency
that was all about you
that gift i embraced
that whip that drew blood
(but i sometimes miss you)
i am lost no more
i am with me these days
and i am safe again
there is just one thing -
sometimes i really miss you

i found this poem a bit soppy, (though i felt i didn't want to change the words in any way) i just had to add this pic to restore some balance to the flavour
