Humdrum mistrusts trigger
placid misery through
an altruistic mistake.
Ambling through thickets
after a deluge,
we expressed betrayals
through a drizzle
of teary eyes.
Indecision plays the
fatality as your
lips drip with
veracity in gasps,
breaths of faint
regret streams across
your pale cheeks.
Thick evergreen trees
heard none of it.
