#2

You got out of bed
and left.
Not a word, not a smile, not a kiss, not a thing.
Scared, I grabbed your arm
too tight. You gave me a look,
annoyance, disdain, rejection
and asked "What?"

"Leaving so soon?"
I can't think of anything else to say.
"Yes. I have a meeting."
I can't think of anything else to say
so I let go,
and you left
for good.
