something is always on the verge of happening
but nothing ever happens
and all of your friends have normalized your secret little habits
or they play along without questioning
your secret little games, your cruelties
so they won't be ostracized the way i was
ostracized, but you never stopped using me
feeding off of me while isolating me
turn away from me, and go toward the woman you married
and now again something is on the verge of happening
but nothing ever happens.
