Motivation

My motivation for leaving rests squarely on your faithless shoulders
it's your flippant smile, your quiet disregard
the devalued way you make me feel
It's the many nights spent alone resting my head on your lies
the callousness of your hands, the chill of your touch
sending shivers down my spine
finally the goodbye you won't say
