POEM STARTER

Submitted by Margaret Sok

“You’ve come back, but I no longer need you.”

Write a poem or short story including this line.

No Longer

You’ve come back, but I no longer need you.

I no longer need a shoulder to cry on,

For your shoulder was too uncomfortable anyway.

I no longer need your comforting words,

For I realized they were laced and tied with lies.

I no longer need someone to talk to,

For you took them all away in the first place.

I no longer need a friend,

For you made me distant.

I no longer need to find if I belong,

For you made me realize that’ll never happen.

I no longer need you,

For you have proved that you only need me when all other options have vanished.
