If anyone asks,
I’ll just tell them
they didn’t fit anymore.
My hands outgrew the confines of
the pretty false silver rings
your mother bought me,
because I know
she bought them.
You couldn’t fool me.
I knew you
never paid attention.
So, when I gave away
your baby lamp,
where I kept my jewelry
for two years,
I left the rings inside.
Because I found
that I had come
to dislike them
as much as I
had come to
hate you.
