Everything Happens for a Reason (2)
Filed Under Poegles | Leave a Comment
Another poem from the literature class at Roanoke College:
It Happened So Slowly, She Didn’t Notice
If he’d just given up
instead of trying so damn hard,
she’d have no illusions about her status.
It had happened before,
one is enough, two is a conspiracy.
His heart just wasn’t in it.
All he had to do was say
“Look, I can’t do it.”
It’s as simple as she’d come to expect.
Everything happens for a reason though.
