-68-
I never know enough,
from those good days
and the lifeless tensions,
the one thing I do know
is that I am not for you
despite how promising
it had seemed to me.
You were so good,
too good,
and I understand now
it is time for me
to say farewell
to what I thought
was harmless fun.
I gave you everything
that I could
but it was not enough
and I didn’t know
I was investing
the last fibres of my being
into your vanished self.
