PAINTING TASTERS

We had such a good conversation
then you told me about a new friend you made
He was better than all the others
even though he was half your age

You explained why you were leaving me
You didn’t love me anymore
I was growing weak in my old age
You loved the boy I was before

You treat me like a liability
a threat to control or ignore
I always wanted to be your friend
until I tried to be something more

We had such a good conversation
I won’t cry about yesterday
I could never say I loved you
I was much too much afraid

Good conversation
