Hungry Gorge

"That's what you think." A disapproval stated
As indirect as it can be equated
With secret failure and a secret sorrow
We know and don't; tomorrow and tomorrow,
A parent oddly states a contradiction
When you expected accolades, prediction
Of something more, a history unspoken
Of expectations, and great promise broken.
It says directly you have missed your place
But indirectly you're a great disgrace.
Context abandoned, this is straight emotion
From some strange and familiar devotion
Missed in the moment of reactions of
Mystification with the ones we love.
