Fourth Hour

Your laughter haunts me,

The memory of your smile taunts me,

Why haven't I let you go?

You're bad for me, that I know.

I hear the quiet voices scold,

My ignorance has led me here,

I am what I hated all along,

I don't think I can be strong.

The ring he got me

is battered and old,

Just like the love we share.  

My wrist feels empty,

If the band's not there,

Reminding me he cares.

[[I would never wish bad things, but I don't wish you well..]]

Your absence left me lacking,

But now I'm laughing, 

I smile more when he's happy,

Even if you don't see,

I'd want you to know,

I will learn and I will grow.

[[Have you ever thrown a fistful of glitter in the air?]]

I realize what I could have lost,

Had I, would I have fought?

Maybe if I had only thought..

[[I think about you all the time..]]
