“I’m breaking up with you. We’re done.”

I stand in place,

as she closed her front door.

My face frozen,

like my ears hadn’t yet sent to my brain,

the words I had heard.

I walk back to my car,

and shut the door.

The information remains unprocessed,

so I started the car, and left.

I took in the sights around me,

though there wasn’t much to look at,

only the passing streetlights,

the occasional rattle from the cracks on the road…

_Streetlight…_

_Streetlight…_

_*snrf…hhp_

_*hhhn_

_*snff!_

…and a broken heart.
