Dismissed

You think my moral compass is off,

your side long looks

and pursed tones

 

are not attractive.

 

I call you friend

 

(at least I thought you were)

 

I try to feel out your moods,

give you space when you need it,

talk to you when you are open

 

but those split second shifts

cut me to the bone.

 

Here is a smile,

I wish you well

deep within you

 

is the woman I love,

care about deeply

 

but my patience has worn thin

perhaps I should thank you

 

for your dismissal.

Sometimes you just have to know when to say, enough is enough.  As much as I hate to walk away, I have no other choice, friend or not, when one stops contributing to your growth...and you theirs, it is time to go.  I will miss her, but anyone who makes me feel as I feel right now...is not a friend, I wish you love, I wish you success in all you are striving to be, goodbye.
