My new life
without you
makes me wonder
what the old life was for?
why I hung around
in the face of such wrongness
when it was so easy to leave
it took a month
in the end
and I was gone.
I don’t think of you now
but if I stay up all night
sometimes it hurts
not because I miss you
but because
yet another
bit of my life
yet another
bit of my life
is done.
