Broken plastic petals

"you do not see
that your games hide my true nature from you"


I have delved as deeply as I can - as little as you have let me
into your mind and your heart

You deceived me - to sate your hunger for my hunger, your desire to be desired by me

You will never believe that had any of this been real
I would never let you near me

You will never believe that I had already left
when you let me know how you had betrayed me

A betrayal only breaking implicit promises
explicitly and expressly denied

There are no more words left in me for you

only an irritated anger
and a slight spark of distant curiosity

for this man I never understood - yet know so completely
who could reach so deeply into me and foresee my words
yet never understood me
