Poem: reply of the raven
By: Linda M Crate
the truth is
we haven’t spoken in many moons
oceans have cut across us,
and there is no
whisper that could sew us back
together;
what we once had was gone
enjoy the fact that it
happened,
but it will never happen again—
i am done
my unwavering loyalty is no match for
your manipulative, bullying ways
i hope you’re happy
you pushed a loyal person to the point
where she no longer gave a damn
but that’s not quite right
i always care;
but now i only want freed from you
forevermore—
you ask if we can be friends again?
i will answer you:
nevermore.
