"Detour"

"Detour"

A Poem by what-the-frick
"

this is how a heart breaks. "

A comforting word,

Our solidarity,

Disappeared from your head.

As I stood there,

I watched it

Take you over.

My friend was gone,

In the wake of this monster,

This unfeeling, hurtful, possessive

Person.

 

I knew, all along.

I’m a detour,

Just a stop-gap.

No one stays long,

So I watch them all go,

And I wave goodbye,

Til the next scantily-clad friendship comes along.
