Muted Breeze

4/25/2022
I called on you
but you're nowhere
to be found
your promise falls flat
when you fail to appear
how can I trust
someone who isn't there
doesn't show
present in intent alone
that's not enough
to earn my trust
like a ghost
your spirit floats about
without substance
or material value
certainly no value to me
or those who rely on you
would it be a loss
to see you go
to see someone go
who was never here to begin with
or would life continue
without even the slightest shift
noticed in the wind
a muted breeze
beyond subtle
as if nothing changed at all
