Copyright – What’s His Name
You stand there, looking at the shadows of a place we called home.
“Ok then…”
Standing at the doorway, I look at your back.
You throw a cigarette butt where I used to plant spring daffodils. Barely visible line of smoke vanishes in the air and I feel nothing. The empty ashtray on the floor of the barn taunts, nurturing my taste for irony.
Watching you drive away, I think about all the times you came into my bed, whispering “I am home.” … and me desperately wanting to whisper back – I am whole.
But you were not my fix.
