did I repeat myself
expressing the same emotion
acting like pain hurts
again
did I bore you
with tales of myself
bellyaching and bellowing
into the night about terror
and woe
last time we spoke
all we did was argue
fussing and fighting
like children
last time I saw you
it was just like the time before
last time –
are you fading into memory
slipping for daily consciousness
no longer striving for you place
in my psyche
are you longing to be free
of my sameness
the lameness
of a blameless life
shamelessly pacing in
high-heeled slippers
am I too believe this is the end
nothing more to say
just staring blankly
off, into space…. –
