Questions

 

I will no longer untangle your weeds

to make you feel beautiful.

I will no longer consider you an item on a shopping list.

Your ingredients are hidden in unintelligible font.

I will no longer need you

to feed me stories of syrup and woe.

I no longer thirst for your questions.

I will forget you.

And remember me.
