Backfires

He let me fall in love
Then offhandedly went away
Haunted by doubt but carry on regardless 
In his defense, It’s a habit

Though I won’t forget his gaze 
That I haven’t see for quite some time
His depart is temporary; waiting for my mandatory longing phone calls 
Luring him to talk

But it’s been a while
Since I’m leaving you
Things blinded your soul; I look for it no more
In time you’re busy with your play
Another city, another girl
Busy making a rebound relationship
That only backfires at you
So you called
Sorry, I’ve made some missteps

Admiration in a wrong turn
Rhymes and rhythms I write
A humming sound in his ears every morning
That’s all he want

No forgiveness
Because soon it’s my turn
And he must know
This love was refined
Not common
