Live and Learn

Dear Shatterer of Dreams,

When you chose me, I was ecstatic. In choosing back, I was emphatic,

but your sweet words did not match your actions.

I should have known better.

I followed directions to the letter, as I put pen to paper,

dreaming of our whispered future together.

I did my part, and then, in your sudden silence, I waited, watched, wondered - what was the truth?

I asked for clarity. And change. And follow through;

while I quietly debated - what to do? I refuse to put up anymore

with your excuses, your antics.

We parted ways magnanimously, no dramatics,

even though you forgot my name.

Sincerely,

The Nameless Writer
