Thanks For Everything

I’d like to take this time,
To thank you.
To thank you for everything you’ve done,
To, and for me.
Thanks for giving me time alone.
It sure is wonderful.
I thought I had a lot of time alone before,
But this is incredible.
I never knew you could be this alone,
Because I’ve never been this alone in my life.

Thanks for making me single.
I never knew being single was so great,
And I never liked it before.
But I feel so free…
If there was anyone to flirt with,
I could.
If there was anything I wanted to do apart from you,
I could do it.
I’m like a bird with broken wings,
In an open cage.
I may be free to go,
But what good is it when I can’t?

Thank you for giving me inspiration to write.
I thought I wrote a lot before,
But since you’ve left writing pours out like…
Rain from a thunderstorm.

Or, cursing from a sailor’s mouth.
Curses I wish to hurl at you,
But can’t,
Because I’m already saying to you…
Thanks for everything.
