There’s a crack between your word
and what I saw you do –
at your work Christmas party
I watched your colleague follow you
You spent the evening close together
it was like you were a couple
and for half-an-hour you disappeared
and I knew that there was trouble
You re-entered the crowded room
Was that some lipstick on your lip?
You gave me a familiar smile
I grabbed a glass and took a sip
In the morning when I ask
you denied and claimed ignorance
but then you changed your story
and now I doubt your innocence
‘I didn’t want to be there
I didn’t know where to look
I really tried to get away,
but she had me in her hooks’
Yet during all the speeches
you stood by her side instead of mine
As I compare your words and actions
unfortunately they don’t align
Now if you see me pull away
and my eyes are full of doubt
it’s because that fateful evening
fears took seed and started to sprout
It seems your work Christmas party
has brought certain truths to light
and I will not love you the same
because of what I saw that night
I know this is a bit of a downer, but don’t fear, I’ve got some sexy Christmas poetry planned. Until then, heed the warning in this poem; as you enter the ‘silly season’, don’t do anything stupid. Love Bree.
