losing something

you dared me to make a move.
shocked.
i stood still.
then talked about it
when you weren't in the room anymore,
to myself.

others' assumptions
built an identity for you
incapable of saying otherwise,
your moved towards defense
and knocked all mine down.

written in my moleskine
was the time: 3:52 am.
at your request
i made the decision to pay
for my ticket into the real world.
