standing still

"how an affair can end"

Font Size

I wanted more

You wanted less

I needed to move

You wanted to stand

Still as the lake when the wind does not blow

You made me a promise

Marry me

I will love you forever

Forever lasted only as long

As I agreed with your life

Your terms

Your timeline

So was I supposed to wait

Days months years

While you…

you…

Standing still in your boat

Waited for the tide to take you

No

I asked for forward

Onward

And you said no

So I found my wind

And drifted away

Letting my tears become the lake

On which..I now…

row
