Thin Line

In response to a real-life conversation 

PS: I reiterate, this is not ChatGPT 

----------

If I'm being honest, I never saw that conversation coming

At the same time, the bruja in me did feel it brewing 

I wasn't surprised because I already knew what you told me 

I just didn't think you would come to the realisation so quickly

For a second there, I was going to call your bluff

Then you impressed me, 'cause you garnered the courage to quit acting so tough  

Days have gone by and I've had time to soak your words in

Making me walk on a line between hurt and indifference that's pretty thin 

Obstacles are mere excuses to keep one in a box

Stifling the bravery to break out of it like an ox

You value something once, you could let it slip 

When it's twice, do you still release your grip?

Not everyone gets another shot to make things right 

But it seems you've tossed yours out of sight

So I stay walking on that thin line until it eventually fades away

Leaving my thoughts and feelings on the shore of a quiet bay
