12 Situations

This is the end of this 
social casualty-
this is the end of authority...
This is the question
that no one would ask 
and the truth-
or a hint at the answers
that go yet unspoken.

This is the last time
I look your way 
with anything other than this
indifference- 
this is finality...
or maybe just 
lack of amusement.

I have better things
to waste my time on.
and the waste, my friend,
isn't the time itself
but the company 
that I'd rather keep 
the faces I'd rather see 
and the voices I'd rather hear...

this is the end of rumor, 
I won't pour fuel on 
a raging fire-
I am lost on "polite"
I am lost on "Gracious"
This is the end 
of everything

This void becomes solace
when my own thoughts-
my own actions,
untempered- unassigned
become everything I have left 
to live for.
and only then
do I find peace.
