It would be a lie
If I said that I didn’t care
Anymore

I do

But I’m convincing myself
(slowly)
that it is
a lost cause
a waste of my energy

When I know
(damn well)
that you’ve turned off
tuned me out
Since last time we spoke

You didn’t want to hear it

We were in the same boat
(sinking poor navigators though we were)
and you decided to jump ship
take the easy way out
shut off all emotions
become my acquaintance?
Because I was not worthy
Of the higher title “friend”

After all you put me through, though
After all said and done
Remember one thing
And one thing only
I left you
(I always have the last word)
