bailing water

it became
a long distant relationship
after a month or
two.
even though we slept
in the same bed.
communication
was garbled
misinterpreted,
words were few.
we nodded as we passed
each other in the hall.
two ships
sinking from the weight
of silence,
mistrust,
emotional abuse.
it would go on for
a year as
i bailed water,
taking her lies as truth.
