Yours…
Sweet without asking for more…
Than I can give
Closer to complete
Regardless of how I looked…
In spite of the mistakes I made
Real without critique
Minus judgements
Lighter than the air breathed
You entered the realm of me
Afraid to reveal your true self
So afraid of what they whispered
Too weak to stand on your own
You hated me because I knew
As if I were the reason why…
Blaming me for what had been revealed
Dismissing those times we shared
As if they didn’t exist
And I took it without a challenge
Because as long as I knew
Why should it matter…
And when we came back together
We were strangers
Looking at each other differently
As if to forget
But that was your reaction
I just looked at you bewildered
Wondering why you buckled
Puzzled by why it even mattered
And where are we right now?
So close to done
I sit across from you
I see
I observe
I notice
I play the game too
Why bother when denial infects you
I was the scapegoat
It was all on me
You were an unwilling participant
Yelling and spewing deception
For probing ears
As if it could erase what I saw
Like it could void the role you played in this
There was no reluctance
There was no resistance
You watched my eyes amused
We went back and fourth for days
Teasing and taunting for weeks
Suppressing our desires for months
And here we are years later
Playing the same games
With different rules
I don’t hate you
No
I adapted
Like I’ve always done
But lately I’ve grown tired
Weary from your show
Burnt out from watching you
Ignore
Resist
Look past
Look to the left
Then to the right
Catching that stolen glance
The whole charade
Frustration is full
I’m geared to walk
Leave you here
Alone in this space
Right where I found you
Curious and confused
Hoping you’d meet
Someone like me
Back to square one
I’ve traveled as far as I can
With you
It was
Almost
But now
It’s a done deal
I had to get to this place
For whatever reason I had to
Go this far
Yes…
Perhaps one day I’ll understand but for now…
I’m gone.
