atrocity

It is an absolute atrocity
the way your absence
seems to never appease me.

All I can be expected to need from you
is your void and the relief at your leaving.

But nevertheless I am left with disgrace
at the thought that I wait just to grieve you.

It is a motionless mess I am left in
when your carelessness washes away
and you suddenly breeze in and look withering
and helpless beneath your own ways.

I cannot be your keeper or conqueror
or a picture of what you deserve
I cannot sit and watch you destroy
every reason I have to still need you.
