Argument

Be easy, speak easy, breathe easy
Don't do that
Thing where you bite your lip
And screw your eyes up just so
Hurts to take me in
Kills to leave me out
And it's cold, you know this
Knew this and you blew it
When
You had your chance
So go
But there's still so much air left here
For breathing
No arguing
Loud and clear, they'll hear

This glass breaking on its solid

Stand
Pedestaled up too high, dripping jewels in penurious dejection
Over and over and over again
And it's spent
So what

Then

Final thoughts

I smile.
You were cut out, removed as
Malicious
Resources withered beneath you
And nothing was the same

But to be a stranger
A struggle ignored
Passing ships and memory erased
... Emptiness without end.

I never needed you as anything
But my friend
I never needed you as anything...
