Our goodbye hinged
on time.
You said you didn’t want to waste
mine.
Wasted
and confused
Drunk from anger, not wine
I can’t seem to fathom
Why –
You were so effusive
Beauty
intellect
mine.
You cared
Or so
you said –
So you seemed
Why
Were you so effusive?
Anger with wine
Confused
and wasted
You said you didn’t want to waste
my time.
