reconvene

you call to lean on me in times discomfort
while also making it perfectly clear
it's not a reciprocal endeavor,
if only i could measure up
use my pretty face and so-called-intelligence
to meet your measure
then you'd choose and i'd no longer
lose the man-who-says
he loves me
he loves me not
today it's been this way
for almost a year
i've tried to steer us back
on course from this track
we railed
and silence is in our field
i can't pretend that i see
how we can amicably reconvene
this trial
