Quatrain of Staring Down

Staring Down - sad but true

You used to look into my eyes
when you talked to
me, now you
look at my
feet,

I know the signs of dying love,
staring down makes
our breakup quite
complete.

If you ever talked to me again
it's ok to look at my shoes,
they will hear as much
as I,

When love goes south it really
doesn't matter where you
look, just send me a note
so I don't have to look
you in the eye.
