It sounded rehearsed

                            like canned remorse, 

                            like so many times before.

                            Your feelings have changed,

                            your eyes aren’t the same; 

                            they look away & through me,

                            as if you knew me.

                            This is best described as 

                            a polite kick in the ribs

                            but what hurt me even more

                            is that I found myself 

                            saying your words

                            to someone else.
