Distance between Us

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 noon’s day, we bite our tongue

This anger eats us whole; surely you can’t stand this gorge!

The question stands rhetorical; I have left while you were unaware.
