"I said I didn't love you,
I said I didn't want you,
but continued to act normal,
to extend common courtesies,
even--
in moments of weakness--
a certain kindness.
"The treatment failed.
Your sickness lingers.
Now you must feel the cold truth of my not loving you."
I said I didn't want you,

"The treatment failed.
Your sickness lingers.
Now you must feel the cold truth of my not loving you."
The speaker in this poem is not me; it's a woman I was in love with.
