there will always be
someone who picks up
a cigarette
after eight years of hiding them
locked up in the bottom drawer
there will always be
someone who uncaps
a beer
after four months of listening
to the words of their daughter
there will always be
someone who goes back
to a lover
after a time they thought was an eternity
of forgetting them, moving on from them,
when really nothing has changed
and the progress they thought they had made
was nothing
