You’ve come back but I no longer need you

As if you’ve needed me for the past five years

When I cried and you offered me no solace

When your friends laughed at my jokes and you didn’t understand them

When your family asked about me at the Christmas party and you said you didn’t know that I wanted to attend

But it was because you never asked

You never do

You always think

About yourself

But…

My tears don’t water your vase of flowers anymore

My smile doesn’t falter when you leave my presence

My jokes don’t fall flat when you pretend to laugh at them

My life is happier without you

So don’t come back again because I no longer want you.
