someone

there were clues in the dialogue
the kind of situational moments
gently twisting fate when the heat stopped
I held back because I knew, there was damage
she would cry at the strangest times
even before all the crises started
I thought I remained strong
I thought that perhaps it was a battle
if I remained vigilant
the Lord would answer all my prayers
but at some point
only one of us was trying
the world turns they say
but it has stopped for me
since my life suddenly slipped away

words hinge in the balance of time
as the enemy slows gnaws away the resistance
some psychobabble about finding "my center"
how he laughs at the things we tell ourselves
I wonder now how long you really have to know someone
before you know someone
