Popsicle Harm

You invited me in
just to laugh amongst the array
of your erstwhile friends
you played the host cinderella
saying you were lost
in the dorm of domesticity

You enjoined me in
just to foreleign
at our voices
studying our accents
is east the new norm ?

You blew out the candles
and counted to ten
making snide remarks
saying what should be done, let it be done
picking up on the gloom
made me a stranger in the room
