Fragile Memories

Fragile Memories

I unfriended you
On facebook today
Drawing two lines 
Under something that
Ended eight years ago
I haven’t been suffering
All those years
Simply didn’t bother
To cut the final cord
Until today
The first couple of years
I found my lessons
Culled the story clean
To the bone and
Discovered my guilt
For not standing up to you
I had let you strip me
Of any value, any form
And I just took it
Like a fool on the rocks
Allowing your black widow
Spider’s nature and venom
To kill off my ego so
It could be reborn
Healthy and wise
I can still cherish the
Good times and see
The ending clearly 
Now, nothing remains but
Fragile memories written
In pale ink...
