Didn’t See It Coming

He wasn’t loud.

Didn’t chase.

Didn’t flirt.

No tell-tale trace.


Smart.

Respected.

The kind they all admire 

Quiet eyes,

A mind on fire.


You thought,

“He’s different.

He’s safe.”

But wolves don’t always

Show their face.


Played the part

So effortlessly,

That you mistook

Cold for clarity.


Bit by bit,

You dimmed your light,

Till you were just

Trying to make things right.


And when he left,

He had his script 

“Maybe I’m wired wrong,

Emotionally clipped.”


But truth be told,

He just took what served,

Then walked away 

No guilt preserved.


Outwardly kind,

Inwardly mess,

He drained your worth

Then called it stress.
