While
I was aware of your
unrest with our love
While you wished for
more time each week and
while I prayed for
forever, not just today,
you formed and executed
your exit strategy
And while you’d think
your wish and my prayer
were sweetly juxtaposed
I went for coffee
while you abandoned
a naked key on my pillow
