I know trust 

or
I used to

long ago

she never said 
she was leaving

one day she just up and

left

i didn’t ask 
where she was going

i thought she’d be back 

but recently–
disappointment
betrayal
confusion

They’re the only ones
who walk through my door
without knocking

We’ve known each other 
for awhile

so, it’s okay

but I miss trust

how I always knew
she’d be there

until she wasn’t 

and most days 
I don’t recognize 
any other faces

Just the same 
old friends

that keep coming back
