Self-Fulfilling

 

You are free

                I'm alone.

You are there

                I'm no more.

Alone again

You can have

                Headaches

                Nose aches

                Flatulence

                Worries

                Self pity

                Unabashed jealousy

                Of her boyfriend

Without fear

                Of my perception

You can continue being

                Tired

                Used

                The victim

                Disrespected

                Discontent

You are free

                Of one more

                Soured affair

You've made sure

That I won't

                Call you

                See you

                Touch you

                Like you

One more feminine

                Casualty

                To your credit.

I have fulfilled

Your pre-designed

                Legacy.

You are free

                For the chase

                                -One nighters

                                -One weekers

                                -One monthers

You are free

To continue

                To self-destruct.
