THE SIMULTANEOUS LIE







And she probably

Counts down the months

Closing her eyes sighing

W/memories of the love U share

Breathing deep through flared nostrils

Marking the calendar

When U became hers

And she yours

Celebrating

An anniversary of sorts

And I will

Remember

And mark my calendar

When u were with me

WHILE SHE MARKS ON

So

we shall mark our

Calendars

Simultaneously

And celebrate

THE LIE
