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
