Failure to Communicate

Folder: 
Dedications

Your favorite movie
starred Paul Newman
and somehow he knew
what would end us.

 

We kept our problems

on the down low
and refused to
bring them to light.

 

It proved fatal
to our relationship
while secrets began
to pile up high.

 

One day everything
just imploded,
our love collapsed
by one too many lies.
