Frustration boiling
with the pressure of his words
tipping her cover as
guilt overflows
she is unable to reiterate
what he left there...

left
lingering
there.

Those wretched words
slowly tearing that perfect picture to pieces,
her work of art.
Friendship defaced.

Anger grows and divides

towards Him
for a selfish confession
ignorantly spoken.
Leaving her with a big black weight
to carry on her back.

and towards herself -
Her own blind and tactless ways,
too many smiles
too much eyelash.

And now
only awkward silences and
indecisive eyes
remain
to increase the pain,
the presence
of a threadbare bond.
