I’m done
you said,
turn away
from me.
The space
between us
no longer
the place
of longing
it once was,
easy to love me
because
you liked me,
you said
there’s nothing left
you can take from me.
You are selfish,
so into yourself,
everything
is about you.
You give me
nothing.
Nothing I do
pleases you.
I only make
mistakes
you said
There’s no joy,
Now, I’m done,
there’s nothing left
you can take from me.
No, not nothing,
but some thing
so small you keep it
for yourself
so I cannot take it
when you say
I, am, so, alone
there is nothing
just mine,
not a space in this house
not friends to come over
you said,
I could live
with that
with you
when you still gave of yourself to me.
Now, I’m done,
there’s nothing left
you can take from me
you said
So, go ahead,
I’m finished.
You can tell me
now,
how wrong I am
how right you are.
So, go ahead
you said.
I stayed
silent.
What other
options?
The space
between us
no longer
the place
of longing.
I’m done,
there’s nothing left,
I can take from you.
