a complete lack of trust

what keeps them together is a

complete lack of trust.

having both already cheated on each other,

they watch each other in

tandem

surveillance,

as if one another’s eyeballs were drones

sweeping the room, the apt., the house,

at all times---

waiting

waiting

waiting,

for the other one to fuck up &

the flirting that they do,

to piss each other off,

is another game played in order to

keep each other

jealous,

to keep each other

sweating,

to keep each other

“loyal”

to the cause that is

an absence of anything but an obligation

built on the lies that they both have grown so well at

telling.
