what you said
like a spare thread
that you pulled
out of your sweater
brushed me off
your delicate shoulder
and looked the other way
i gained more leaving you
then i ever did loving you
thought your words true
so effortlessly blind to
the pitchforks you threw
ground me into wet clay
the next shape of your choosing
so i won’t regret losing
the person who begged me to stay
a newfound sympathy
for all those you demonized
in hopes of winning my camaraderie
now i remember
how much me there was
before i met you
how much more i could be
there was so much you stopped me
from being able to see
but then i stumbled on
more love for you
than anyone had to give
gave you what was left
my last shards all for you
stomped your foot
and left them dust
and now we’re through
so yes
i don’t regret losing you
