On a Dead End Street

On a dead end street, I parked my feet
Predetermined by me, myself, and eye.
Laughing at my silliness. Running in the same circle.
A loop that others called out.
I ignored them.

He’s gone they said. Kaput. It was more than a hint.
But there was no note.
Don’t leavers write one?
I thought I knew him.
But he had blocked me.
From his phone and from his mother’s house.

She would not even come to the door
And I sat in her driveway for six hours.
A stalker?
Maybe.
Actually I just want to know.
Is it over?
I am still out here, punching buttons.
On a dead end street. where I have parked my feet.

He is not worth the cast off of your shoe. Leave him both... that will state that you have walked away... clearly... Not thrown, just set them there at the end of the drive. Then pray... "He" will tell you where next to go. I loved your poem. I have been heartbroken and left ? with ? The reality, they are cowards. It takes courage to face someone... Ann

It is a coward who does this stuff in a text. I know of three of them.
