With measured steps I willfully betray you With wringing hands and fumbled fingers I set determination. Waiting has only embittered us With distrust we lay together. I will not live another day With angry words to set at bay, while we sit together On a warm noonβs day, we bite our tongue This anger eats us whole; surely you canβt stand this gorge! The question stands rhetorical; I have left while you were unaware.
