Perfect! Great! Great …

I am agreeing with what
An old friend has asked
Of me since we first parted,
Though I suspect she has
Not been forthright about
Her feelings and desires.
We only text, never speak
And never ever video chat.
I tell her I concur we will never
Meet again as she asserts to me
She is completely unavailable,
Each time we text each other.
I tell her that just as she
Hoped for, I have found
Someone whom I love and
Who loves me back.
Her response is texted,
“Perfect! Great! Great …”
I wonder at her ability to
Appear so tough and yet
Vulnerable both at once,
But she is a good actress
And has led me on with
Out savaging me too often
Despite her ferocious temper.
We really are completely
Unavailable to each other
And have been for awhile.
Though I have moved on as
She said she wished,
She ends her text with a
Poignant, “So … unavailable.”
Every junky is like a setting
Sun, perhaps the same is true
Of the end of every love affair.
I am in love with a wonderful
Woman who returns my love
And with whom I have a future,
I am moving on and hope
My old friend will do the same.
Though, in truth, she may be too
Damaged heart, mind and body
To do more than love her
Children, criticize her ex, tend to
Her family, carry on day-to-day
And on occasion turn the
Sky crimson with
A temporary
Setting
Sun.
