Is it just me

Or does anyone else

Realize

The full picture

Of things

After the grand finale

In the being a whole

The true meaning

The underscored reaction

The subconscious explanation

Of boundaries

Not set

And more often than not

Broken

The meaning of these

Is as clear

As sunshine over the water

Staring in the face

Of disbelief

With a pleasurable smile

Of negative power

You say: be here at 7pm

He arrives at 9:30pm

Repeatedly

The meaning?

Your time isn't valued

He lives on his own time table

You say: Let's spend time together

He says: I can't commit to......

The meaning?

I can't make up mind

Because I might find something

Better to do

Or

I have a lot to do

You can wait

You say: Am I at all a priority to you?

He says: You are the top priority

In my social network

The meaning?

Nah, my friends still come first

Everything else will always have precedent

Even if it's not important

You say: Call me when you get to .....

He doesn't...

The meaning?

Even though I know you are worried

I can't make remembering to call you

A priority

Because well.....it's not important enough

For me to remember

You say something

He says: Yeah but I don't do that usually

The meaning?

Even though we are in a relationship

I will still do certain things

As if I weren't in one

The result

Is miscommunication

Misrepresentation

Separation

And loss

The cure?

Set boundaries

At the start of it all

Make sure both parties

Are privy to everything

Most importantly

Grow

Work on it

Stay connected

Don't run

And always

Always

Love
