Icarus

Unrequited

If anyone but you
Had told me not to talk to you
They would never have succeeded
I let you go
Because you asked me to.
I didn’t mean
so much to you
You let me go
Because it was demanded of you
Because you were shamed
Because I just didn’t mean that much to you
I understand that
But why if that is true
Did you try so hard
To convince me otherwise?

(2014)
