She said she wanted to go home
he replied “not now”
The look on her face
said there was more
going on than just her words
Were they fighting
was she just tired
She put her fork down
and gazed out the window
He continued to eat
like he did not notice
her needs
With no words
she got up and went
to the ladies room
He took out his cell phone
and began texting
So distant they were
like this was a dance
they often engaged in
I had to leave so I did
not see the conclusion
But was left wondering
how do people
get to that place
Where their relationship
is taken for granted
Where the light they saw
in each others eyes
dies out…
