Catastrophic
Say to yourself again
that i am not your responsibility -
so loud that i can hear it now,
even across whatever continuing
distance, confusion or barrier
you riddle your little life with...
and all those times to me, in trouble
you appealed,
and i answered
grateful, supplicant -
the chance to prove my faith
in what i saw in you,
the potential i could feel
no matter whatever distance, confusion
or barrier...
you had so many reasons not to lie -
not the least of which was
that
i am not your responsiblity...
so, why?
why did you fail me so.
