I don't hate you

Though you may wish I did

No, I don't hate

But I want it gone

This doubt and pain

And endless drama

I need it gone so I can

Be. For my daughter

My family. My life.

You're not the enemy,

Not even close,

And yes you mattered,

Though much less now,

And I want it all gone

Need it all gone

You can have it all

Because you'll never take

What matters the most,

Because she's always my

Responsibility. Delight.

First amongst equals.

I don't hate you, but

I am glad you are gone.
