what I thought we had
is not ~
what you thought it was
or wanted it to be
like the queen of hearts
and the king of spades
our connection ~
had a different meaning
for you ~ than for me
and that expectation
is what has gotten
in the way ~
of what
we once hoped for
poisoning the joy
that filled
our relationship
to the point of being
toxic ~ as a waste dump
making the continuance
of what we now have
what it’s become
not healthy at all
for you ~ or for me
so maybe it’s time then
we heed the warning
and just say ~ goodbye
peace out
