Poetry Corner: Stop Talking

I'm so tired of all your empty promises

I'm not hard to please, but I still deserve effort and time

Don't pull me back in with your canned responses

I'm not your fucking dream girl if you can't be my partner in crime

I want to be there for you, but you keep me away

I am not the type who needs anyone

But you should be my seam when my threads start to fray

Stop showing up, stop making me check my phone

I want to move on, I want to not look back

I don't want to miss you, all you do is talk

Go away, let some other man pick up this slack

Please stop making me care, I just want to walk

I don't want to view the reflection in the rearview mirror

I don't want all of my thoughts filled with your sweet words

Day by day, what I should do becomes more clear

Never will you put in the work to fully open these doors

Don't talk to me, I need to move on

I cannot rely on you, just go play your game

Talking every day, but I finally see the dawn

We hardly hang out, I am your shame

Lose my number, delete my pictures

Forget my face, don't remember my touch

Don't worry about me, I have men who are my cures

Just leave me alone, thank you very much

This unhealthy, unpleasant whirlwind

Yes, next stop, I'm getting off!

Get away from me, just let me mend.

For you, I will no longer go soft.

If you for once do something I need, do it now

You're so selfish, you just can't let me go

Don't show me the pretend concern in your brow

Goodbye my dear, I am done with your show
