if a miscommunication

was all it took to sever our ties,

perhaps we weren’t meant for

this ill-fated soul-baring exercise.

commitment notwithstanding,

I think you ought to reevaluate

whether it’s a wise move

to hold yourself in such a high regard.

you claim to value virtue,

with languages of empathy entwined.

but refuse to weigh the options,

abashing any effort to make amends.

in cogent conjecture,

a manifestation of our faults,

your iron motivation

is like a universe that won’t evolve.
