Ode to Relationships

Ode to Relationships:

By Me 

Others can maintain them and strive in them

I on the other hand kill them and they wither away

What can I do to keep them? 

I know that my ability to be a friend ends up pushing others away

I need to learn to say goodbye to them 

And realize they are not for me 

Goodbye I say to friends and friendships

Goodbye I say to trying to become close to others

Goodbye I say to feeling disappointed and sad when I kill a relationship

Goodbye I say to human connections 

This is now me.
