i could cry for weeks on end.
but what good would that do?

i can keep trying to inch my way back in
but with a wave of your hand
i'm a part of nothing
you don't want me to be a part of.

i could call you on the telephone
but you never even wanted that.

i could get on a plane
spend my savings to clear things up.
but it wouldn't help.
you would truly hate me then
[if you don't already]
and i'd probably only fall for you more.

there are a plethora of things
i could do and try.
but it would only complicate matters.
and prolong only my hurt feelings.

i've made it quite apparent
that i like you. more than i should.
when you made it apparent i shouldn't.
in return, the friendship faded.
and for that, i apologize.

my heart aches. morningnoonandnight.
so now:
i will simply give up.

from here on out:
nothing else i write will refer to you.
i'll find another place to harbor feelings.

do you cringe to see your handiwork?
