Notes About The Poem

https://amzn.to/3Or0f6q

Starting today

Starting today 
things will be 
different.
There will be 
no more 
word vomit
thrust on you 
my friend,
I promise 
on that you 
can depend.

Starting today 
my words will be
succinct and
to the point
light as not 
to push you
away because 
I want you 
to stay.

Starting today 
I won't 
love you less
but my feelings
I'll start learning 
to repress.

Starting today
I'll faithfully 
listen to you
Without 
Opening up 
because it always 
causes trouble 
when I do.
