I can't 
EXPLAIN my whole thoughts
PROCESS yesterday 
& I'm not sure 
that I have 
come to a conclusion about
whether I THINK 
I should have done anything differently 

I feel like 
it is possible for it to 
BOTH be TRUE 

that I cared about them deeply 
& that they were never 
MINE to hold on to
& "letting" them walk out of my life
FREELY 
WAS the right thing to do

the relationship I had with them
was not available for 
CONTINUATION 
& it's hard to parlay a mentor type thing
into being buds
we never hung out 

I barely made it to any of her gigs 
because I didn't have the 
SPOONS
for doing ANYTHING but working 

& I wasn't the kind of professional mentor
that you might keep life long

my mom ALWAYS wants something 
for anything she does for you
wants you to owe her
FEEL beholden 
& I didn't want ANY part of THAT 

YOU are the ONE I've never been able to let go of
