Notes About The Poem

over

(a simple breakup, in Senryus)

I said I’m “fine,” which
was absolutely true - just 
not where he’s concerned.

Our story ended,
a cancelled series without 
lesson or climax.

I was proud of us,
we ended things maturely, 
no one told the truth

He wasn’t in my 
life but somehow he never 
left my contact list
.
.
A song for this:
Only the lonely by the Motels
