Hello old friend

we haven't spoken for some time

after you shut me out

and pretended I wasn't on your mind.

Crawling back on all fours

pleading a change of heart

hoping that bridge you burned

hasn't completely fallen apart.

What should I have said,

to appease your distressed soul.

Did you want forgiveness

did you want warmth after being cold?

I was attached to the memory

but I was fine without you.

You've burnt out this past year

faded into a worn out blue.

So pale and sad,

I could easily forget you.

I'll still remember out of respect

for the fresh-faced time of the past

but I'll never feel a hint of regret

for cutting you off at last.

When we know what isn't good for us no amount of begging should open the door to second chances. I really liked the rhyme and the sentiments laid bare. The poem left no misunderstandings; it's good to stand your ground firmly and quietly. Thank you for the lovely read.
