To the One Who Took All My Favourite Things...
I am making a list
By no means exhaustive
Of what you took from me
Not being scared
I miss it the most
If you could find a way
To return that
Please
Feeling that the world
Was a safe place
Where people could be happy
I would like that back
As well
Accepting the touch
Of someone who loved me
Instead of pulling away
In breathless panic
That one was precious
I keep finding more things
Missing
You took everything
Perhaps
And if you don't plan
To return it
Could I just ask you
Please
Was it worth it?
