a leading role

she's walking away.
but you hardly care.
you've been in this movie
before. you were the leading
man in the all three
sequels.
you can do this role
in your sleep, you
hardly need to change
your clothes, your
dialogue. for mostly
you stay silent. you
stare off into the distance,
you move sand around
with your boot,
nothing gets thrown.
no words of anger leave
your tight lips.
you absorb the moment
and let her go.
she's walking away, but
you hardly care, or so
you'd like them to believe.
