When you grow tired of someone;
when their actions enrage and annoy you,
are you the kind of person
who meets the issue head on?
Who worries not for the fireworks
or potential destruction
a heated or awkward conversation may cause.
Not shying away from the havoc,
because a moment of destruction
may pave the way for the rebuilding of something better and truer
Or do you simply go offgrid,
avoid real communication.
Do you sulk and stew?
Making only cursory replies until, one day
that person gives up on you and slips away
and you shrug it off as a sad but inevitable loss,
refusing to accept that the loss
may, in reality, be yours.
