Balm

If you loved.... if it was love
on your part
it's doubtful
balm to soothe your wounds
like an animal
to help you heal your past hurts
maybe...
Lust... curiosity
an ego trip out of control
probably much closer to the truth
all I've accused myself of
for what?
It doesn't matter...
Nothing really did to you
so why should I establish
any importance to it
accredit it with any reality
nothing given
leaves what?... Nothing!
gone with the evidence
that I was ever there
I took it all with me
you left nothing
for me to return... not even love
