I forget why I needed you.
I’m walking down a path
stopped suddenly by the thought.
I look over the crystal blue lake
shaped carefully by the grand Friedrich
Clouded by worries.
Can’t quite get past the recollection of your behavior
Hindsight defines and sharpens lines
You were never that kind to me.
You gave me experiences and compliments as others would
to domesticated house pets.
Threw me a goddamn bone once and a while
I’d come running.
I thought when your glass was fuller at the end of the day
it was only a fluke, that It would be different next time.
But you drank me empty and hung me to dry.
We’re no more and never will be again.
I burned the stuff you gave me, the lessons you taught me
I scattered the ashes over my memories of you.
I’m glad
Now I don’t have to deal with either.
But shoot.
Interrupted my walk.
Bitch…
