A Future Dissolves

I am guilty of pretending to have friends. 

We were connected by a shared education that eventually ends. 

And when that reality dissolves…

When I failed out of school, the end never resolved. 

And I told people that I might be back. 

After I left, it became clear what I lack. 

I used to be able to have a future to explain. 

But now I have no defense, that two years was all in vain.
