Disappointment

seeps through my skin

as your words

run against

mine.

Annoyance

at myself

letting it go too far

again and again and

only this time

is one time

over the credit limit.

Why why why

The familiar

sink

ing of the

dense sense

of loss

and confusion

Not again

why again

just stop

already.

Concession cloaked

within a test

of respect and

how far will it go?

if I can’t win

this

will it go back

it always does

doesn’t it?
