I Don't Need You

I dont need you; in fact I'm glad to see you go.
I was looking for a way out of all of this.
Why we didnt part sooner I will never know,
So now I smile and blow you one last kiss.
I dont need you; I dont miss an earlier time and place,
That summer in the highlands when the sun would never set,
In lantern twilight, soft golden on your hair and face,
A remembrance of heather may thread a moist eye, but yet,
I dont need you; I wonder if I did ever care
Like sad movies when Id catch you brush away a tear,
And wed laugh and blush at such sentiment to share
But I recall being touched by that tender side, my dear.
I dont need you; but perhaps Im too blind to see
How, even though at home wed always fight,
When the outside world would turn against me,
You were always at my side, my loyal valiant knight
I dont need you, though it does undo my pride,
To recall the trust your heart so freely offered,
That vulnerable self you never sought to hide,
A willing sacrifice upon my stained altar proffered.
I dont need you, yet it could make me weep,
Thinking how I loved that I could bring you gladness,
Laughter that would from the darker moments keep
Our spirits risen, a soft balm to gentle bitter sadness.
I dont need you, but now I count the cost.
No love unalloyed but in time gets tarnished and worn,
Too precious a jewel never sees day for fear it is lost.
Phoenix like, real love from ashes rises and is reborn.
I don't need you, I dont love you, I dont want you.
How heartsick am I now of the refrain.
I dont need you, I dont love you, I dont want you,
A litany of lies to numb all feeling and pain.
