Today is your birthday
and I can comfortably say
that I am glad the ties that once bound us
have broken and frayed

Apathy rushes over me
as memories of us come reeling back to me.
A pathetic series of attempts you see
to find something

anything

to go back to what we once were

you and me.

Today is your birthday
and I can comfortably say
things are better now
that I have pushed you away.
