When you told me
You were known as
A Heart Breaker
I remember knowing
I would be the cold hand
Of Karma and I wished
That it wasn’t so
(As I always do).
Nine months later
When it did occur
I remember your
Tears raining on
My shoulder: a plea
To stay a minute longer
I didn’t
(As I always do).
I remember that drive
That feeling of intoxication
But still sober
Shoulder still wet
Eyes still dry
Drifting off into the
Distant setting sun
(As I always do).
