Omission

Today,
Alone I found myself

And was sad that you weren't there

Not as a lover, or a friend, but as a shoulder
and an ear.

To say we play equal roles in this
Would be a little short of the truth.

You see,
The way you want me is nothing like
the way I need you.

My truth exists somewhere inside
A place I've run from
Time to Time.

But you can find me there.

Sitting alone.
Wrapped in myself.
Fist full of tears.
