Clearing my throat wasn’t enough

I watched the clouds dissolve in front of my eyes

Talking resulted into nothing

We witnessed lucidness sporadically

But your roots refused to drink

The foundations were sabotaged

I believed but you didn’t

I believed but you didn’t

I uttered the words

but you didn’t listen

You walked away

I watched the lilacs deteriorate

There are only so many ways to say it

I only need one
