abandonment (poem)

run before he can
leave before he can
go before you're used
and tossed aside
go before he becomes
your self worth
your pride.

you already know
how this story ends
you're always alone
in a house full of friends
no one to save you
no one left
to hold your hands.

quietly cursing God
for casting you from Eden
when you know
the fault is
yours to bear
hiding ugly lies
with cascading tears
gets you nowhere.
