After All This Time

By Kati Frazier

He had joked often

when it had been

couth to do so.

And it made me

laugh.

I'd play along,

and afterward

I knew his kisses

were waiting.

Often he would,

and I saw nothing

wrong

'till he denied

my love.

Left me

for another

And now,

after all this time,

he jokes again.

And I am insulted,

because

he sees it harmless,

and because

if I am not careful

I may

play along forever.

Back Home!
