An Illusion of Progress
Three days and it was over.
I started with a call
ended with a deed
It was over.
I am not fooling
or kidding you even
It was that simple.
One call,
it was all over once again
Where have we gone?
Darkness in your eyes
Lights in your room
Ordinarily dismissed
Not like you
I have made progress
Gone somewhere
Always there
You are stronger
a tad bit wiser
bolder
the knives off your rack
But you fail
to nail the one perfect slay
I am done.
This time is final
I’m gone.
Not like you
I have progressed
Going somewhere
Finally.
