Old Wounds

I thought I was over this.
I've replayed it over and over.
I've plotted every outcome.
I've run through every word.

Why can't I forget?
Why can't I just move on?
Why must old wounds linger?
Why must they ache on?

I have nothing to do with you.
I never speak with you.
I rarely think of you.
Why do you haunt me?

I did so much.
I asked for so little.
I was used.
I was looked over.

You didn't care.
You were supposed to.
That was your job, right?
Wrong. I did it all.

How dare you?
How dare I let you?
Leave me alone.
Get out of my head.

Think what you like.
Tell others what you want.
You and I
Know the truth.

You're a liar.
You're self absorbed.
You care only for your own gain.
What does that say about you?

I'm far from perfect.
I know I am.
But I am nice.
I try to be useful.

I'm tired of this.
I'm tired of you.
Leave me alone.
Get out of my head.
