Custody

The last time we were in court she said I could have Ava’s Roasters

But here I am and here she is

What the hell

The judge said specifically since I’m the one with insomnia I could have the 24-hour coffee shops

It’s two in the morning

She’s never awake at this hour anyway

It’s like she’s a whole different person now that we aren’t together

She’s not even here with anyone

It’s not like it wasn’t a fair trade

She got everything else

She got the grocery stores in town

The two main parks the freeway commute the bar I showed her in the first place

I mean she even got the burger joint, she doesn’t even order burgers there she gets the ******* salads

My lawyer said I should’ve kept some of the things in town

I know I should’ve it would’ve saved on the gas but

There was going to be fights and I just wanted this **** to be over

Besides I don’t hate the drive and I mean I haven’t missed running into people from high school

I just wish I could call the judge about this

It’s my time

I have poems to write about her and how could I possibly do that while she’s in the room

I mean since when does she need mocha’s this late

This is my thing

She already stole my heart
