I Should Have Seen It Coming
By the dead pan look in your beautiful eyes and the disparity of your smile
I should have guessed that the ending of a fantastical journey,
was coming to a close end;
I dreamed of babies, white picket fences, and rippling laughter
kitchen whispers, between bites of toast and honey
so many places I envisioned with you,
yet none of them will not come true now that you decided
you needed someone new.
I should have seen it coming, the stars extinguishing their light
the sun closing shop and slowly fading out of sight
I should have known a a younger me would soon be
holding you;
by the way you packed your bags and walked out the back door
I should have known you weren't the one,
who would lift me off the floor.
