You called my home today
But I was glad I was away.

I am no longer interested in small talk that is not sincere
And that you are not a true friend has become very clear.

Our relationship is broken…
For a long time we have not spoken.

An occasional attempt for who knows what sake
Comes across as being fake.

You were the reason we grew apart
Our relationship was not sanctioned by your heart.

It came across as being phony
And was based on no true issues but…baloney.

You often acted angrily
But I tolerated it because you were family.

I was not responsible for you not having a happy life
Or for not being a worshipped wife.

You shared your frustration is due to not getting along with your Mother
And it know it was hard for you to accept the success of me and your oldest brother.

Your crude remarks I have tolerated to long
Your opinions are self centered and often wrong.

After 50 years…
And often bringing me close to tears…

I dare to say… It is not pleasant being with you
So… good luck…and adieu.
