My Obligation

Amelia Robinson

Oh, oh no!
Surprise, what a prize.
I offer one last word,
you’re an obstacle in my way,
a pebble in my shoe.
The oath of friendship, broken,
the betrayal obvious.
The lies, the options you had,
but you chose this.

You ended my fun, my adoration, my trust,
so I have an obligation.
Goodbye, oh no!
I could barely hear you as I said oops.

With a grin,
the casket, open.
