auset speaks: "hinder" (a he wasn't listenin poem)

I im'ed him
to begin one of
our most paramount conversations
re: the growth & change
of our relationship.
While my heart ached
I poured the muck & mire
filling the crevice of my soul
through a cold keyboard
and in teh midst of my fearful revelations
all he could muster in response
was a spelling correction
of one word.
To soften his unsighted blow
of ignorance & obliviousness
he posted an animated smiling face
as if our discussion
were that simple.
This alone clarified for me
his interest & investment in our future
had long dissipated.

Sometimes I think
I'm my own worst enemy
cuz I set myself up for this shit
every
single
time.
