Was any of it real?
I think back…
to how it all began.
The flirtation.
The presence.
The care
gentle, deliberate.
A slow recruiting,
into something
I thought was connection…
but turned out to be
the final nail
sealing my soul.
The red flags
I saw them.
I just chose not to.
Gave you the benefit of doubt,
out of respect,
out of belief
that people mean well.
But now,
as I sit here
connecting the dots
I see it for what it was.
I wasn’t a choice.
I was a move.
Another pawn
in your game of chess.
I hope you got what you wanted.
Truly.
Because life has a funny way
of circling back.
And what you give
you always get back.
Equal,
or more.
