commiserating

he told me he was done with trying 

been there. done that. 

invested and lost track 

of all he did to try and find it


he said he no longer 

thinks so hard about it 

has given up 

because it’s never panned out 

it must mean it’s not for him 


and i sit in my own set of circumstances 

and he has no idea 

how his words are speaking 

because i know the feelings of defeat 

of giving up 

for what i thought was for me

and how evidence keeps proving   

it’s not how it’s going to be 


i listen to him disagree 

with all my positive reasoning 


i

am

trying


but inside, down deep 

at least in this life for me

the evidence is convincing,


i

am 

so

tired


and quietly,

i agree
