A shift of the eyes to the left
and down
or no contact at all.
Face down
buried in your pillow
you mutter "everything is fine".
This conversation
over.
It's like trying to hold smoke.
I can't keep
you
can't keep your word.

you've got no follow through
and
somehow
though I spelled it out
just for
you
somehow manage to
fuck it up
every goddamn time.
