because you (didn't see it coming)

by heather - Taurus

because you see in me what you
didn't want to lose in yourself,
because you have lost the 
ability to even remember
what it feels like to be hurt;
because all of your life's dreams 
have been squashed or squandered:

is that any reason to kill
the love you live for?  or to bruise
in words, bricks thrown like stones 
from a contemptous child's hands?

because you see in me what you
fear the most,
because you have forgotten 
what its like to
move, love, breathe,
  without thinking;
because all of your ambitions have fallen 
like dust to the ground:

is that any justification
for reopening the wounded?
