my purrrspective of the.. edge

        To lose you as a
        love
        was painful
        To lose you as a
        friend
        is equally painful.

        But lost you are.
        The walls are sooo high,
        and that finely honed saber
        I had when I began storming
        your citadel isn’t even
        sharp enough to
        slash my wrists.

        It’s not that I don’t care.
        It’s just that I can’t
        let myself
        care any more.
