it’s fine.

abandon me

reject me

and the love

i give to you

it doesn’t hurt.

 

it’s ok.

smile and say you love me

then do the same

to someone else

a little better

a little louder

it’s not like i fall for it.

 

it’s fine.

i promise

it doesn’t twist

or wring my soul

into knots

when i think of your

rejection.

 

it’s not like

you ever make me feel

inadequate.

 

my friend.

it doesn’t hurt.

that would be weak

dramatic

pathetic.

 

it doesn’t hurt

because i will myself

to ignore

the loneliness

just like you ignore

me.

 

darling, i swear –

i’m fine.
