Literature
Always and Never
You throw an austere expression on
while your eyes turn ice cold.
Intimidated by your brutality,
I have never felt less bold.
Somewhere underneath that skin,
behind the made up wall,
is the person I once knew.
You cower over me, pretending to be so tall.
I miss you when you're not around,
but mostly I miss you when you're right next to me.
I can see all the ways you've changed,
plus all that you lead on to be.
You said goodbye with your silence,
and now I leave you with mine forever.
With your heart now made of steel,
I'll miss you always and never.
