Tit for Tat (Impasse)

just a little vent so I can get back to the real stuff. :)

He can’t be my lover.
You can’t be my friend.
I can’t be sure of self
cast upon the wind.

She can’t be your dream girl.
You can’t be her knight.
I can’t live in your world;
must be out of sight.

He shall be the ruler,
though you judge what’s good.
I wouldn’t cast you out
even if I could.

He keeps His silence still.
You can’t speak to that.
I can’t go on, just smile,
exchange tit for tat.

Remarkably ranted, Dawn, the cadence trapped me with its abrupt edginess, and I like how the first two lines of each verse of 'them' are answered by the author, creating a push/pull effect that shimmers with silence and screams with betrayal.

I understand this totally! I must say you are very mild in your rant, because this can be the most frustrating of situations to deal with. I feel it and can relate. speak it out Dawn, write whatever you have to;-)!
