Cold faced bitch


from the ABC set Poems

It’s over. And if I’m honest
It’s way past over. I had already gone.

I’d say I thought you knew.
I’d say I hoped you noticed.
But that’s not nice, so I say nothing.
So much easier this way.

I stayed too long.
But not long enough to mention
That little point
That I had left you

My heart had gone, my head caught up
And I was running out the door.
I stopped calling. I stopped caring.
And I just forgot to let you know.

But of course we know
I didn’t forget.
I hid myself in work
And hoped you would simply fade away.

I have to go.
So see you then.
Sometime. Or not.
Yes not. If I can help it.

You’ve changed. I’ve changed.
I became a cold faced bitch.
