Solitude and independence have brought me here

Alone

Along the way, no questions were asked

Not one

And here we stand, at the edge of the cliff

All the conversations we should have had pressed into this moment

It is unfair to put this on me

We have had a lifetime to address it

You feel I should not only listen, but value your opinion over my own

I listen, because I feel it important for you to say what you need to say

You don’t listen, for you feel your perspective should win the day

We are at an impasse

And I am left where it began

Alone
