I broke links with your deception
over the respect I had for you,
which, upon further review,
I abandoned.
It made no sense to live
an unfulfilled life with you.
I’ve spilled more grace over you
than you’d like to know.
But who am I kidding?
You’ll never confess to a single mistake.
My aspirations conflict with pride
and what I tried to conceal has reason
only if you’re over the past,
passed the mountain of regrets intertwined
with the need for a savior, but a savior, I am not.
