Something Better

"You're worthy of a love that's worthy of you..." -unknown

Anger boils at the mention of a name.

Your temper flares like a dancing flame.

You breathe your hatred into the phone,

and for once, I'm glad that you are gone.

 

Same old jokes, but not the same you.

 Your love for me is gone from view.

The littlest things set you off.

My innocent silence is all your fault.

 

I used to long for the way things were.

Now those days are all a blur.

 All I can see is what you've become,

and I won't partake of your disillusions.

 

Thanks for reminding me of what I'm not missing.

Author's Note

He's got issues I couldn't begin to heal. Feels good to finally realize I maybe am better off without him in my life.

This astonished me as it captured a falling out I had with someone I used to trust, a writer who turned out not to be a friend at all. The first line resonates with me...as the mention of a certain name wld make my anger boil. I try to be calm, but...
