Reading the Room
She was saying goodbye
in so many muted ways.
But I was somewhere else
in my redoubt of indecision.
Indifference that couldn’t mask
her blue and walk-away eyes,
should have made It clear
she was already gone.
It took me a while to get here.
To get you to fade away.
It was just that my timing was bad.
