so what have i lost
quite obviously
the friendship
poison killed
the shared taste in poetry
seriously
she was the only person
who’s opinion
i did not question
that was mutual
it’s not a question
of fragrance
it’s a lot more than that
the loss i feel the most
is the oftentime companionship
that’s what would have stayed
had she been willing to convert
like me
from the poison she dumped on me
by life not intention i think
but it is lost
i can only do binary
or unary of course
no more
but
the no
the everytime this has happened to me no
that’s her decision
i expect she feels a loss too
companionship is mutual
but she made her choice
i’ll live with it
