Maintenance

When it costs more than it's worth to maintain, buy out.

You're not the first to try,

but the first to bide.

Maybe not intentionally

but indifferent, despite.

This won't be the first

time I've stomped out the ashes

of who I used to be while I

look for another remedy to help

pass the time, asleep.

And although you could leave me

without a day's notice,

before the knots begin to tie

or my brain unexpectedly unwind

again, don't worry about

the weight of your absence

I'd understand.

I like the idea of this poem. It was well done and I love the way it sounds in my head when I read it. I like the way you fit the words together so it sounded better than it could have. Alot of times poems like this do not have enough flow or to much. Haha sorry rambling now :)
