If You Love Something, Let It Go

by, Cassandra

Liar liar, pants on fire.

I can be just as juvenile
as you, when I really
put my mind to it.

Sticks and stone may
break my bones,
but your words…
I have tuned
them all out.

You don’t mean nearly
as much to me as
you think you do.

If you love
something,
let it go…
and if I don’t
come back,
well…

I guess I was
never yours
to begin with.
