Endings

My horoscope tells me to avoid being discouraged by endings, that I can grow if I stay in my lane,

and I feel seen by the cosmos today.

I can, indeed, be mad at you and still hold love and respect in my heart,

but I can't stay and subject myself to the whiplash of your mood swings;

I can't surrender my well-being trying to make sure you're okay.

The last time I chose no contact, to fully block you out, I wanted to talk so badly it was the only way to stop myself;

this time, I never want you to speak to me like that again, and I am guaranteeing that you can't.
