Lost or Found - Poem

There’s no place for me in the past realm
It’s in the future where I will dwell
Whether you are here or not
And that will be you who decides
Because I won’t wait for you
Not after the silence you’ve given
When all I gave you was my trust
I won’t wait for what might never come
Or what you think should happen
Because I won’t let you control my smile
Not how it comes
Not who it’s for
Don’t you understand
My happiness isn’t yours
It’s not to be possessed
How I feel is how I feel
I won’t be your robot on autopilot
I have a heart too
As irrational as it can be
My love is mine
You cannot dictate me or my rationality
So can you sew this cut
Heal the scar that’s left
Can you pull your head from the dark
Come talk to me and set this straight
Because deep down I’m dying
From your unnecessary hate
