happened
when I said,
“I
wish we weren’t here.”
Tension
had been building
to
a point where all I wanted
was
to get back to
our
place of normalcy,
but
a decision needed to be declared.
Distant
days had passed since
the
discussion of our future,
a
future Hope had cast her hand in.
Our
commitment encompassed
the
core of my heart;
And
how could the heart be wrong?
So
I waited, waited for you
in
that crowded softly-lit space
to
quiet your thoughts and share
with
me your mind.
But
you,
you
knew all along the path you must take.
You
kept your truth hidden, preserved the
decision
deep within to ferment
like
fateful fruit.
As
your personal pungent wine poured from
your
lips, you knew it would cause
my
mind to pucker, and your definitive answer
caused
Hope within my chest
to
fall from her home
D
O
W
N
to
the wood-tiled floor
in
one solid second.
And
that moment between safe and sadness,
where
my whispered words
finally
found your ears,
was
when we both knew
there
would be no more
me&you.
