Engaged
As
one's circumstance turned, one's friendship turned too
Lapse in
explanation, lapse in consideration, lapse in time
Lost
conversations, lost laughter, the lost intimate, the lie
Taking
umbrage, declaring ownership of what is not yours to take
Had
you not assaulted, had I capitulated, no a life lesson required
Each
day no return, next day the lesson plan changes
Lost and never to
be found fears keep growing
Or perhaps the truth is, just stolen
and buried underground
So
doing next what need be done plain to see
This that I do pains me,
the reality, hurts only you
Through the days, weeks and months of
petulant denial
How could you do that that would surely be railed
and raged against
Indecency
and decency matter only as applied to a fairy princess
Not done to
you, done by you, naturally not a single care was given
Getting
on with, doing without, not yet, not without rallying to the
affront
So there it is, didn't have to be so, but it is what it
is, alors cest la guerre
