Boundaries

Image

One could be fooled
by your luscious one-liners
by your fancy
“I have never stepped a foot wrong in my life”
reminders.
But as soon as a
page turns without
reference to you.
Your response is timeless.
Action-reaction
Cataclysmic
abstraction, quick
counteraction!!!
I will no longer hide my life
behind closed doors
for the sake of your
respect, when
reciprocation is
null and your edges
make me weary.
I am back and my
boundaries are set.
