GOODBYE

I forgot to tell you

about your appointment on the fifth,

about the leftovers in the fridge,

and the bills yet to be paid.

I forgot to tell you

that the sex was getting stale,

that I’d found a marriage counsellor

and that we should go on holiday.

I even forgot to tell you

that you left your phone at home this morning

and that I was eating breakfast when it buzzed;

that “Lydia xoxo” has a rockin' bod

and that I can see why you like her, spunky as she seems.

I forgot to tell you anything at all—

I was too busy leaving.
