You tell me you want to see me, but when I ask you to come, you’re busy. You say you miss my voice, but you never called. Was it too late — or just too easy not to? You say you want a vacation with me, but when I show you the tickets, you tell me I don’t know what to do with my money. You say you like women who write poems. I wrote to you every night, in a slow rhythm, with empty hands. But you wanted something “mature.” You say you want a new house. So, out of care for you, I packed your bags and changed the lock. Isn’t life beautiful?

Isnt Life Beautiful?
