Autocracy

i once read that the decision to end a relationship
is not a democratic one,
its an autocratic one.

one decides,
& it isnt for the other to reason,
negotiate,
or convince.
they must simply — accept.

i  always thought,
if you love deeply,
act truly,
& make yourself irreplaceable..
no one will ever leave

but its not for you to say
whether it was ever filling enough,
sincere enough,
or if you aren’t expendable.

so how do you ever remain
the girl he glows with adoration for?
