how do you feel

how do you feel
she’s writing poems to another lover
you suffered through
and now she’s out the door
careless
fearless

Punctuation stops the heart of many stronger than myself

.

and where does it go from here

?

just one song circling
one verse
one course

but i never imagined it would be like this
convoluted melody.

and who are you now
wondering who she is
in her own life

she said she loved youwas it true

?

you’re idle in your new ways
contemplative in your old age

wondering who she is and how you’ve made her so

and is it a worse thought that she loved you
and no longer needs you
or that she never loved
with anything other than words

actions speak when spoken to
but a voice is out of turn

isn’t it always so?

and so it goes
