Quit Trying

"I quit trying"
I over heard the 
Heartache sound of
Disappointment from
A woman holding a dog

"Quit what?"
The understand friend across
From her asks, eyes wide with interest, 
But not sincerely intrigued 

"To get married"

Oh, yes. The women with the dog,
A poodle to be exact,
Quite cute with it's fluff and attachment,
Is the one who stops before it even begins.

The modesty of it all.
The innocence.
And the failure.
