More Than Enough

More Than Enough

You heard more than enough

When you listened in the night

To me talking in my sleep

Whispering a name that was not yours

And sweet endearments that were not meant for you

 

You felt more than enough

When you stood and shivered

Cold and fearful, as I tried to touch you

And make it right again

To fix what could not be mended

 

You said more than enough

When you walked away from me

In a trail of burning anger

That would not settle

Which hung around you, dog-like, snarling

 

You did more than enough

When you disappeared

Without any final words

Leaving no explaining note

For me to dwell upon, or find any consolation
