Charms Around Your Wrist

i've been away
&suddenly you're a poet using my return,
what i did while i was gone is none of yr concern.
you can write that i have changed from how i was back then,
just don't think that you can ever cry to me again.

&you can add this
to yr growing list
of heartfelt disappointment
like charms around yr wrist.

yr taking pictures every time i turn away-
cutting, pasting, making fun of everything i say.
i can tell the whole wide world i don't know anything
just remember everything i say i might not mean.

&you can add this
to yr growing list
of heartfelt disappointment
like charms around yr wrist.

&it's so sad that i was all you had,
it wasn't how i planned it,
it doesn't help you to demand it
if it's not there.

&you can add this
to yr growing list
of heartfelt disappointment
like charms around yr wrist.
