she's too absurd, too vindictive, too petty,
but no more than i,
she's too stubborn, too strong-willed, too stoic,
but no more than i,
too unforgiving, too vain, too afraid of living,
but am i really going to let her go without saying goodbye?
all my barbed insults,
lie trapped at the back of my throat,
the thought of you deflects all affects of aggression.
i relish the chance to recall who i am without you,
oh but that you made me such that i must question,
i cannot say what that means,
it is too much, indeed, to mean.
farewell to you seems like too big a thing to treat small,
so i think i prefer not to treat at all.

A very sincere poem which reflects ego of mankind and the weaknesses. I enjoyed it!
thanks. it's, in part, about being angry that someone is treating you coldly and realizing that you're treating them in the same way
Very nice message! Well crafted!
yeah, I can so relate
sometimes, avoidance is our key
to survival's
acceptance and the simple fact, that
often
blame comes, fingerless
and lessons, come
without guidance...
(thanks for sharing, dear poet)
Good write V.
