rationalize

constructed a reality
that partially exists
validating my truth
and contradicting his
the hours spent repairing damage
i was certain i had caused
only to be met with stony silence
or was it pregnant pause
was a flood of redemption waiting
behind his perfect lips
or an urge to surely strangle
course through his fingertips
at which moment did we devolve
while marinating in disconnect
to the creatures we are presently
saturated in selfishness
