Ode to the Other

Dearest one
You've hurt me so
You tore this love
I thought would grow

I watch from my
Bewildered nest
In wonder why
You follow the rest

I thought of us
Close as a knot
Tied together
By commom thought

You proved me wrong
You walked astray
Leaving me
As she did last May

And now I ponder
Are you aware
I speak of you
With hidden care

I hope you enjoy
The thickly sycophantic
Threaded together only
For pure social credit
