Character Actor

You kept telling me about him that night. All I could do

was to sit there listening.

I'd heard this story far too many times before.

It was always the same.

Always.

There was no surprise in my actions, a dull repetition of thought & action.

How boring those moments of feigned intimacy had become.

You held me tight as we parted

but I was anywhere but there.

That night

it was I that left

it all behind.
