I'm
walking
away
in
steps
that
never
should
have
been
.
Backwards
in
hopes
that
I
can
turn
time
rearward.
I
haven't
given
up
...
simply
negotiating
reality
,
face
forward
,
as
I
retrace
action
.
We
used
to
talk
all
the
time
.
You
would
call
me
.
(
with
such
love
and
affection
)
(
special
words
devoured
)
You
would
text
me
.
(
a
quick
line
in
solo
or
duet)
You
used
to
email
me
.
It
was
all
so
intimate
alive
,
genuine
,
free
.
And
now
there
simply
are
no
words
.
I
tried
to
get
you
to
open
up
,
but
instead
you
just
seemed
to
have
chosen
to
shut
down
.
I
want
to
repress
the
fact
that
you're
just
not
that
interested
in
me
.
A
millions
miles
apart
.
and
oh
so
tired
of
complaining
that
you
feel
so
distant
.
I
just
don't
know
if
I
can
love
you
anymore
from
this
absence
.
A
lot
of
little
things
adding
up
.
Gradual deteriorations
taking
their
toll.
Premeditated
emotional
abandonment
on
any
level
is
hard
to
endure
.
But
you've
stopped
investing.
detached
:
I
am
left
feeling
a
slow
dying
quiet
death
:
unwanted
.
When
you
never
think
of
me
.
distance
will
loom
in
social
periphery.
I
ponder
the
cause
.
unforgiveness?
callous
treatment
?
lack
of
effort
?
lack
of
time
?
fear
of
talking
?
living
in
denial
?
Between
us
this
interruption
has
been
nothing
but
overwhelming
.
To
recognize
what
I
can
no
longer
perceive
I
come
back
to
these
exhausted
steps
.
However
,
this
issue
is
nothing
new
you've
heard
it
from
me
before
.
And
I've
honestly
tried
my
fair
share
of
talking
direct
but
gentle
.
Still
...
lingering
unmet
needs
fill
the
absence
of
sound
.
I've
asked
myself
what
have
I
done
wrong
?
I've
tried
my
fair
share
;
-intentionally
re
-engaging
-
acting
kindly
towards
you
-
loving
unconditionally
allowing
time
to
do
her
work
.
Yet
your
silence
is
nothing
but
a
reverberation
in
passage
.
Heel
to
toe
-
toe
to
heel
Traversing
all
that
is
worn
out
while
past
events
flicker
echoes
of
enduring
disasters
.
Arduously
I
retrace
footsteps
.
Renegotiating
the
future
the
further
I
withdrawal
.
