one in particular

end of a long shift

got to her about 8

knocked on her door

to find her friend with

looked from one to the other

waited for words to drop

about us she said

i stood up to go

wait it’s not you it’s me she lied

it’s ok i said i understand

we were just not compatible

wait what? came next

her friend all uncomfortable

i’ve been thinking about us

heading different directions

this is probably for the best

walked out no look back

headed across town to mine

the last rays of the sun

going down in blue black

& orange fire needing

a stiff drink to quench
