Naked in Winter

Bleeding from the head I pushed the chair In front of the door Until I didn’t hear you no more Banging and yelling I wished you’d leave Rubbing my tummy Sick like morning Standing on the balcony Bruise on my thigh Standing in my towel When the door smashes I panic Falling down I hit the snow Something cracked But I crawl I limp I run Barefoot Freezing at the toes Flagged a car It was blue Then here you come But I get in We drive away Seeing you from the rearview I had to take a breath I wanted to wave To flip you off Didn’t expect to see My arm was broken We drove and drove I knew this was the end 12:32 a.m. and you never saw me again.
