like the cool summer wind you came as the sun fell beneath the horizon
and the moon poked its shiny bald head out, in a vague attempt
to make everything right you held my hand from dusk until dawn
we named constellations and spoke of imaginary lives
that you promised would come true should i have the patience to wait
but as the sun began to rise, you packed my bags,
you rushed me to the station,
you bought my train ticket
with the words good riddance
underneath your breath
like a smack in the face
with desperation
i begged
you
to let me stay
you left before the train did and as it pulled out of its tracks
with the sound of speed, the sight of powerlines and blurry trees
and i am (another broken promise, another mistake,
another you, another me, another ex, another us,
another one that bit the dust) gone
