Mei-
To be completely irreverent about the whole thing: Nathan and I are splitsville.
So, as any girl, poet, or immature child would do, I’m going to write about it.
Actually, I wrote this a while ago. But it fits.
—
Mei-
When all is said and done
we’ll call this mutual—
…………too many months of doors slamming,
crying, cold-shoulders, cursing, withholding
…………true feelings and touching
–but it’s anything but mutual.
You promised me forever,
as if you had that kind of power.
But I took you at your word.
