Free at last from the ties that bound me,
holding me down like an anvil,
wrapped around my hapless heart.
I’m not sure what love is,
but that wasn’t it.
It took some time
and some pain
to shake loose
from those
chains.

The Grace of Reciprocity
The only unspoken understanding now is this: if you ignore me, I absolutely won't bother you. This isn't about being competitive or indifferent; it's about acknowledging the most basic truth of adulthood: relationships must be mutual, not sustained by stubbornness.
