Maybe it was the inflection that sent you away
A subtle upward momentum,
notifying Desperation in my tone.
Maybe I didn't offer enough.
I knew there was more I could give.
This kernel of selfishness
knowing I was only there to take my share.
Transactional. Adversarial.
You were the only one for me.
But then...
you filled the role internally.
