The Cycle

Give up.
Don't give up.
Refuse to.
Rinse.
Repeat.
Move on with life.

To Throw it Away

I had my chance, I decided
to be a strong wind.

Blew you away.

Kissed you goodbye like
a fist to the face,
never looked back.

I thought about how. . .

I don't know
if I broke your confidence
or helped you lose
your self-esteem.

 I just know that our time was up.
   just know that our time was up.

We're not getting it back.
You are
            not getting it back.

 I'm not looking over my shoulder
ever again. Are you?

My back is turned-
I've got it all. .  .

The confidence-
the self-esteem.

I stole for myself ,
I don't think
you'll miss it.

 I don't think-
do you understand?

 Broken sentences,
             backs-

they cost you,
your own limbs to fix.

But us?
It doesn't cost us a thing.
