I saw you today, But I pretended I didn’t… I looked away, But watched you just the same- Part of me wanted to run to you, Hold your hand, Pretend our fight never happened… But The survivor in me, Held my hands tight behind my back, And kept my head down, Eyes cast on the ground… And The Warrior in me, Snarled harshly in my ear: “Don’t you dare!” And we watched you walk away- The Warrior and I, We watched, And I wept…
