dear r: untitled 9.08

untitled 9.08



dear r:

i know how this works and
the lies people say to keep one
around somehow, anyway

you gave mixed messages and
played clever, unscrupulous.
it must be terribly flattering for you
when people fall fast for your
false love’s hope one day and
then later you decide you need
the actual condition of self-
imprisonment, exile, isolation

perhaps a clean break needs to be made.
i abdicate. i elect for acquittal.
this relationship is a door we need to shut,
to lock for a while?
we’ve both been hurt and
we suffer an exile that
you’ve come to enjoy.

but its not what i really want.
i can’t seem to stop loving you.
