Poem

I drove thousands of miles
For an audience 
She told me she was busy
To wait a week
I was not a priority

I’d felt that
Deep inside

If she lies about love 
What else does she lie about

She doesn’t love you
Not like that
She no longer loves like that 
Or has another 
And lives a lie

She slaps your face
And is so superior
She’s always the victim
Living the life of blame 
Victim ship 
Self pity

You do this
It’s repetition compulsion
Always caring, giving, serving

It’s dutiful and good
Admit your fault
You lack discernment
Are generous to a fault

Love your neighbour as your self
Self sacrifice
Is for children and elderly
For the sick and true
Not for romantic love
She turns that to a transaction

She doesn’t make time for you
Her time is for more important ones
Not you
She can make a case like a lawyer

But love is present
Not in a week
Not tomorrow

The depth of the angry and unforgiving
Withholding

You can not see me today
Maybe in a week

Disdain
