Cutting ties

When you said "Stop blackmailing"

It astonished me to the extent

As if I witnessed somebody get struck by lightning

Never had I anticipated such a response

While informing you about my dead cats.

I expected you'd treat me like a baby and calm down the torment inside me

But all you did was show apathy and bluntly say that in my face.

Was it right on your part?

I couldn't gather the courage to talk further,

I hung up and chose to cut ties.
