blaring neon

by e.h. - Libra

it was 
three days
after

when he sat
on the bed 
and said

   "there's nothing on 
            the walls...
                  it's eerie."

and it would be 
another two days
when i would call
him from work

and he said.
    "you even took down
                your bracelets
                      and necklaces
     all of your jewelry"

and it was 6 days
after that
before he would
notice the boxes
in the front room

were gone...

and he would call
my cell asking

      "uhm babe...when was
          the last time
            you were
              home?"

and it was two
more weeks
before the phone
company

would switch my
damn number

finally ending
his calls
