Coming To Terms
By: Kenneth R. Cabrieto


           I washed it today,
           With my tears again,
           What I gave to you,
           And you gave back to me.
           It was all about considerations to me.
           I thought I had control of my assets.
           But I was mistaken.
           I thought we both accepted all of the risks,
           Hazards,
           And uncertainties.
           I know that we didn't have a binding contract to one another,
           But I thought that we had some sort of a mutual treaty.
           Things turned out to be unilateral though,
           You waived our right to happiness,
           And transferred it all to me.
           Things are just over.
           With no real purpose,
           Or reason.
           No counter-offers can be made.
           No chance of a reinstatement.
           I wonder about any misrepresentations that may have been made.
           I guess it doesn't matter.
           You just voided everything out.
           Everything.
           So I guess I should just go on.
           There's no point in waiting for you to say "good-bye."
           When you can't even say "hello."
