3 years after your subversive terrorist acts
You stand before me
With words now flowing from your mouth
That could be mistaken for a conscious

3 years after dusting off and rising from the ashes
God proves he is a jokester
You returning is not the acknowledging sign of approval
I had knelt and prayed for

I need
Reprieve
You’re an imaginary figure and if I just shut my eyes tightly
When they open I’ll realize
This is all a dream

There’s nothing here
To salvage
Trying to stitch together the smashed remnants of torn love
With an
“I’m sorry” bandage

This is a wasted love
A wasted love
My confidence now rebuilt high towers
With you
I’m rid of

This is a wasted love.
With you I’m rid of.

An " I'm sorry " bandage?? I LOVE THAT LINE. Those type of lines stick in my head. I really love this poem. Intelligently written. Magical.

Yes, the “I’m sorry” bandage is only temporary and doesn't solve the underlying problems.
