The Plan From Here

The sight of your eyes complicates this simple poet.

I felt a change in my mind, but I was a fool to undergo it.

I gave you support when others might be tempted to advise.

I'm the one who keeps your head up and in the loop (or tries).

I gave you chances, which you wasted,

and I let you come back for seconds.

I gave you what I could afford –

As much and more than you deserved.

The plan from here until the year's end

Is to assume you're a peripheral unisex friend

Until one of us leaves or I can't recall

That you were ever a woman at all.

Your figure may complicate what is otherwise simple.
