"i'm sorry, jiminie."
the words roll off your
tongue with such ease,
you would think you had them
rehearsed.
yet i accepted your weak attempt
of reconciliation
because i loved you
and you told me
that you never broke promises
to the ones you loved.
i thought you loved me,
too.
you reminded me countless times of
how much you truly did.
you used to breathe out my name
with such passion
and affection
and firmness,
you would have thought
that even the strongest force
in the world could
never pull you away from me.
yet now you sleep until noon
and leave before saying
goodbye
only to return when i'm no longer
conscious to greet you.
