Saying One Thing.. Meaning Another

Goodbye, Lover

Saying one thing
Meaning another
Not speaking a word
Expecting a patient lover

I left you
You’ve left me
Yet we aren’t the same
You see

Today on the phone
Silence
I hung up without a word
The most peaceful violence

Immediately got a message
Ex lover saying he really wanted to meet
“I don’t like for things between us…”
As if my he hadn’t already apologize and wash my feet

He knows what he’s done
Why things are “this way”
Too cowardly to say he wanted me on the phone
“Onwards” to end another day

These poems serve two purposes… 1) The clarity they provide me. And the greatest reason I feel compelled to share.. 2) For you to experience the “we.”
