words spoken

direct eye contact

like she really wanted

needed me to believe

& i took ‘em

the way they were thrown

ignoring the hidden

she was leaving me slow

on her way to quit

but first she had ideas

off to see getting the

next fella waiting in line

making sure she had

another home to go

said my goodbyes

got into mourning

save me some time

doing all that later

set the skids under

making her leave easier

on her & me
