LEAVING

she gets in the car
door slams shut

there’s a shape in the doorway
it’s my door
and she’s leaving

She is leaving

I get drunk on half a pint
high on one cigarette
am I a man yet?

(She’s leaving /A space in my eyes)

she gets in the car
'cause I’ve lost something on the way
she gets in the car
we only said two words yesterday

I hope you find
whatever it is cause I don’t know
and I don’t care
really I don’t care

Why did she go away

I’m fine
I’m fine

the warmth by my side
will fade in a while
the shape of your head
darkens the pillow

She gets in the car
door slams shut.

She gets in the car
Why did she go away
don’t go away

I’m fine.
