Coward is a verb
your ego has won
Coward is a verb when its full of you
you do it so well
hiding behind your words of indifference
I wish I could click "obsolete" as easily
as your memory of me seems to lapse
you had me eating breadcrumbs even then
now I feel invisible , devalued
I am like a cobblestone beneath your feet
you might step upon me and pause if
you happen to walk that path on a given day
Call me a fool for the last time
I'm removing myself from your narrative
