coward

that i was

not wanting

long conversations

how i’d definitely come

to a bad end

if i left her

long lists of my failings

poor lover provider

tears & complaints

without end

just a simple note

is all i left

thank you for everything

but i can’t go on

no hearts no kisses

the key to her door

cleared out all my shit

taking one last look

walls around

thinking long

on better times

all come & gone

leaving only the blues

no love no more

no kindnesses

just an empty space

my goodbye

& nothing else
