{c}Holding Pattern

Betrayed,
He stood.
Silent, she sat.
"Why do you lie?"
Her lips moved not once,
Responding as always with sullen silence.
Stooped by hopelessness, frustration; he walks away.
He knows the answer; the truth is evident-
It's pointless to dig for what's already been unearthed.
Broken and separate, they keep to that deeply rutted road.
