Finished Affair

Dust on the mirror distorts my face

 

Yellow sun slithers across the floor

 

Long since have I been to this place

 

I will come here no more

 

Sheets cover the furniture

 

Dried brown roses resist gravity

 

A petal here and there

 

The facet in the sink is dripping

 

No concern have I anymore

 

You cleaned the kitchen spotless

 

Thinking I might come by

 

That was snowy months ago

 

Now rain beats on the panes

 

I always wanted shutters

 

I thought you felt the same

 

Our love making was stale at the start

 

It finished with lots of blame

 

We seemed so compatible

 

Please don't ask me why

 

I spy my old umbrella

 

Leaning against a chair

 

I pick it up and turn around

 

Shrugging at this mundane affair

 

I put the key in the mailbox

 

A weight lifts off my brain

 

In another month, my dear

 

I won't remember your name
