sunday morning sunshine

by tattooedbeatmessiah - Libra

i'm leaving, 
this time for good and
i'm not coming back here again, 
you said...

well,
i poured a cup of coffee
went out to the front porch,
lit a cigarette and waited for
the paper as you ran back and 
forth to your car 
carrying everything you brought 
over here,
bras, makeup, panties
thrown quickly into boxes
and everytime you passed me
you called me an asshole,
not loud enough for the neighbors,
just enough for me to hear..
as the old lady next door
watched from behind her curtain...

don't forget your toothbrush, i said,
as i stubbed out my cigarette 
then
lit another...

by the time she was pulling away,
i was reading the personal ads,
god knows,
there has to be an easier way.....
