"Rescinded"
Copyright (c) 2009.07.19 by Werner Domroese
in the heat of night
we used to talk
for hours on end
about real issues
silly nothings
and trivial routine
through thoughtful thoughts
lengthy essays and poetry
idle chatter
text messages back and forth
we connected
found common ground
no hidden agendas
just true sincerity
no ulterior motive
but unbridled honesty
no secrets
only naked truth
nothing to hide
merely open minds and hearts
implicit trust
rather than suspicion
no deceptions
unquestionable faith
it felt so right
we walked the walk
you were truly a best friend
until you subtly dared me
and I promptly showed up
unexpectedly
a full stop
so suddenly
I'm broken up
over surreal reality
