Farewell, Love
Gone are attempts at being steady,
I've exhausted my efforts to please.
Strength has run on low then empty,
My heart requests a permanent leave.
I've sheltered all your infidelities,
Smiled harder to avoid inner pain,
Concealed your dubious insecurities,
Shocked to reveal I'm not insane.
Contemplation in the shower,
Ring stationed on the kitchen counter,
The last letter to my longest lover,
'I doubt you'll ever find another...'
