Defeated you sat
on a trampoline where children played
while you told me that
I should just go.
Pointed toes
and gloomy eyes
those lies you told
about how
it was for
forever
danced in my head.
Silently
I shrugged
[pretending
pretending]
and told you
something unimportant
and untrue
then walking
sprinting
running
so you wouldn't
see.
