Forgettable

You told me I was unforgettable

he proved it.

You told me that you loved me

he proved that he did.

You told me I was safe with you

that was a lie

you tore my heart in two.

He picked up the pieces

glued them back together

held my hand

every night I cried.

Listened

to every memory

angry tirade

sad blindness

never saying a word against you.

You thought that I would be here

you thought that I would wait

what you did not count on

was…..

anyone can be replaced.

Turns out you were forgettable.

Should Have Listened

With trepidation

stand at the door

deep breath

time to go in

time to pretend

grieving sorrow.

Lead forward

Detective

Coroner

the smell

gagging

it coats the throat

fingers dig

twist the ring around.

Words of warning.

Decomposition.

Animals.

Take a breath…..

hold it…..

hold it…..

let go

nod head

ready to look

ready to see.

Did everything right.

Waited

little longer then necessary

before reporting

contacting the police…..

he had left before

Now this.

Sheet drawn back

glance down

Yes it is. 

Do you know what happened?

No real answers.

Not yet 

but soon

thank you for coming down

to identify him.

So sorry for your loss.

Sit in the car

hair falling in face

shoulders quivering

looks like I am crying

when in reality

I am laughing.

I warned him.

I told him…..

were he to do it again

there would be no third time

for I would kill him.
