Cutting Ties

What did I do to deserve this treatment How did you not feel the weight of that lie You put all your feelings ahead of my own By playing semantics to justify Well now you can breathe 'cause it's out of your hands Today I will speak, and I say "goodbye" -------------------------- 12/6/2021 BITE SIZE POEM no29 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Line Gauthier

You know, Avery, sometimes it is so hard to cut ties (and it can hurt badly), but sometimes our lives are enriched by jettisoning those who treat us with disregard, insult, or try to bully us. You lines are well-taken. In fact they are a FAVE for me!

Thank you, I really appreciate all your feedback. Cutting ties hurts worse when the offending party is not ill-intentioned. But we're all here to live our best lives :)
