Eleanor, We Have Put These Difficulties Behind Us

Sure it’d hurt    Eventually he’d be making dinner    For someone else    Some people are unlucky

They stay alone    Their entire life    Not him he’d fumble or drift into someone’s else’s life 

He was predictable     Is that      What made him less desirable?      She held his hand

She’d leave him A note       Slip out       In the morning         Before sun appeared

Last visible stars        dull and hard          It was enough       Light jacket     Half zipped 

Visions of subways    Busy city intersections        An idea of dinner      A quiet café  

Seat for one        Another life    She would         Have another life

  1. This is heartbreaking. An idea of dinner and then the last bit. Heartbreaking.

  2. “Heartbreaking” was the word I came here to say, too, and also that I love this line especially:
