do not disturb.

i don't think about you anymore.

except when i become

my own lowest point.

you cross my mind then.

briefly,

grazing the edges

of my reality,

impersonating a friend.

 

but i don't need you anymore.

so, every time you knock,

trying to sell,

wearing your shiny labels

like a badge,

i'll shut the door in your face

and let the night take you back

to the abyss you crawled out from,

veiled in shame.
