This Is Not For You

I owe you,
No kindness,
No favours,
No respect.

I owe you,
Nothing,
No time,
No energy.

I owe you,
No pity,
No understanding,
No forgiveness.

I owe you,
No empathy,
No sympathy,
No integrity.

I owe you,
No tears,
No pain,
No heartbreak.

Yet you ask of me,
Favors of kindness,
Favors of consideration,
Favors of integrity.

I'll break my heart,
One last time,
I'll make the journey,
To where you were once mine.

I'll do you this favour,.
Not for you,
For the sake of my own,.
Let my integrity be known.
