They said the words, the same old twist.
Another promise, neatly missed.
My hands stayed flat, upon my knee.
No sudden reach, no urgency.
I watched the shrug, the familiar sigh.
No argument, no reason why.
Just a small nod, a single blink.
Let it all sink.
No grand explosion, no bitter fight.
Just something quiet, took its flight.
A tiny click, a lock released.
The helping hand, at last, had ceased.
