Dead Relationships
I guess we're family,
But really, we're just related...
Who you are?
I really don't know.
I suppose we're friends,
But you're more like an acquaintance...
Do you have my back?
I don't think so.
I say we were together,
But we were more like adjacent.
We never actually
Got close.
Maybe I knew you,
But do I still know you?
Honestly,
The answer is no.
I recognize your face,
But no contact is maintained,
And our relationship
Hasn't grown...
So, why should I claim
That we still remain
"Something"
With some type of hold?
To me, it's a shame
How people drop names,
But do it
just for show
Old memories fade
And old feelings change;
It's about time
We let old things go.
