the disappointments

the disappointments
add up
over time.
the one you didn't love enough
expresses it
with words and a cold
sigh.
you see it in her eyes.
your boss,
is disappointed
in your effort, your
lack of enthusiasm
for the job.
your neighbors look at
your lawn
and shake their heads.
even your dog, is sad
about
how it's treated.
the short walks, 
the hard
food in bowl is no
surprise.
when you look in 
the mirror you're 
even disappointed
in yourself at times.
