C'est Injuste
I learned years ago
that love wasn’t intended for people like me
only the beautiful and talented
and anyone who wasn’t was destined to be lonely
but I still hope to hear you say “Damn the rules”
and take me in your arms
and let me be yours again
And though I’ve spent enough
nights on the couch
afternoon blaring Ani Difranco
mornings screaming at the mirror, my parents, and God
to know better
I can’t accept that maybe it’s time to
let
you
go
