Today

Today I've done the most liberating thing I have ever done,
I called you,
Heard your voice,
You sounded tired and frustrated,
Just like me.
But I called you anyway and told you,
That I don't think we should talk anymore.

The silence that grew from this created a chasm,
larger than the Grand Canyon.
What took centuries to create, we did it
in a matter of seconds.

Then you acted like the phone was breaking up
and disappeared.
I could have called you back,
and you could have called me back.
But I think we both made a decision
and seared it to our hearts to remember this by.

The last thing I will ever hear from you is
a plea.
And I swear to God,
that will always be the last thing.
