Thank You

Thank you for allowing me
To spiral into despair
All by myself
My friend

Thank you for not being there
When I needed you
The most
My friend

Thank you for your silence
And cool indifference
To my messages
My friend

I think
I have finally gotten it
So I release you 
From any responsibility
Of being my friend

Thank you for helping me
To let go
My friend

Ah what a wonderful spin on betrayal, weaving the widow spider's silk into a warm comforting sweater.
