There is nothing

standing between us today.

nothing that fills the void

and nothing to make me stay.

your words

ring empty and indecisive.

non-committal

comfort fodder.

and again I am left

feeling hollow.

when I am with you

you make me afraid

of myself.

I fear that I’m not good enough.

I am not enough

to keep you occupied.

so save yourself the trouble

and let me cut

to the chase.

you hesitate

because you want something

better

than

me.

I won't stand in your way.

maybe I was

just clinging to a convenient

warm body.

but I’m over that now.

I deserve better

than "I don't know."
