POSTPONED They said that it would happen, but it didn’t I asked what happened, or did I miss something ? They replied; no I didn’t, that it was just postponed I said, okay, like so many times before But, what do I make of this? When postponed becomes cancelled If I call it A lie, I am told it is not If I ask what do they call it? They justify it with excuses If I don’t say, or ask anything, it is not mentioned again, nor does it happen What do I make of it? Nothing That’s just it. When nothing happens, it is called “nothing.” I think it best. I say nothing Though I know the mental anguish it sometimes causes. I’ll get over it It is possibly better than calling it A lie, and going through an ordeal After all, if I call it A lie. It would be denied It was not cancelled. Just postponed When something postponed, becomes cancelled. It becomes A lie (of sorts). They justify it by saying; it was not intentional. But, to me it is still A lie They become offended, and defensive, and sometimes angered, and verbally abusive But, all that doesn’t change the facts, that they lied (intentionally, or not). However, they want you to believe in them, no matter how many times they have lied before And. If you don’t, then you become the villain, because the problem is you Since you can not convince, or reason with A person, living in denial (living A lie) It is sometimes best, to just let the matter go, no matter what it is, or how many times Either that, or minimize the association if possible Sometimes, when possible, it is best to dismiss the association altogether The o--- d--------- b------ A s------- o-- l--, a-- A p-------- l-- I- A g--- i- t--- (t--- f----).
