With awkward smiles
Pretending to enjoy our drinks
Feigning amusement at silly jokes
Mostly at the expense of others
Some you dare to insinuate at me
You watch my laughter but see me rage
You're scared and I'm calculating
What to say next that can work
That can fill up the next delicate hour
And in the time taken to calculate
Losing the moment
You can't look me in the eye
Nor can I you; it's difficult to do so
When we both know
That on this beautiful evening in the fall
You betrayed me and I betrayed you
