Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

We grow apart together.
You must be to blame.
For I have defined you by my desire,
and you have failed to achieve.
How dare you !
I gave you no permission to need.

Insight gleaned from your departure.
Frenzied scuttling abolition of
distance does not provide nearness.

I have become one of those
lonely people who wait by mailboxes
Condemned to isolated occupancy
by a failure
to exsight.
