two ears
(3.28.22)

two ears
but he does not listen

words for comforting
but he does not say them.

every breath
spent on you.

when you call-
where does he go?

when you text-
he escapes.

two eyes
what does he see?

he tries
but coddles me

one chance
to make this right

you want him?
i will put up no fight.
