severed

You can’t delay the inevitable
Or turn back my progress
It’s the same as this lava flow — it melts its challengers with its intensity
That’s why I had the energy to call you on it

You can’t still this emancipation
Even when I think of it as anything but
It’s just to justify the end coming to this friendship if you’ve chosen your allegiances
That’s why my guts didn’t burst to challenge you on it

You can’t vilify those who I trust
Even if they are trusted to be my enemies of the future
Even if I see through them just as everyone else is vocally doing
That’s why I have the critical thought to push you on it

You can’t break this wall of ambition
Even when I see cannonballs hurtling forward at wall breaking speed
It’s lost in circular debates that keep us up at night and grant us nightmares in the day
That’s why this relationship is to be severed.
