It was an illusion
That I had that completeness
Or friendship
Or reciprocity
Truth revealed
And i didn\’t want to see
Myself standing so alone
In their company
Humiliated by the farce
Of relationship I tethered myself to
Just shut my mouth
Already
As the ridiculous words fell to the the floor and got lost in dog hair
And dirt
But he listened for a moment
Without reflection past
Her
Demeanor done
With restrained hopelessness
So then what
Why talk when most everytime
Regret stuffs her mind and heart
