Hard Break-Ups

You never want to be
on the wrong side
of love that has to let go
When love is good
it shows up on time
every time
When love is great
it is always present
and the machine
that compels it
writes its name
on the wrist
of the small person
that propels it
When love is grand
there is a conversation
that ever remains
Do you love me?
Yes
Did I disappoint you?
Yes
Can I stay here, still?
.....
 No
