Au Revoir
You were there for me,
when you cared for me.
You were gone,
when the hard times failed to meet
Positive response.
The day the screen door slammed
And the summer afternoon heat waved through my brunette curls
I breathed in your scent as deep as I could
1.2.3.4.5
And out you went
As a hot air balloon should.
Three years have passed,
And your t-shirt is still in my lower drawer
It’s filled with holes from moths
And the dust is like a thin velvet film
Covering it gently enclosing it
Oh, the memories.
I thought.
