A poem a day keeps the cobwebs off my keyboard.

Restrictions: None
Complimentary Closing
It’s polite to say
goodbye
before leaving me
with just an
indentation in the mattress
         (no, it wasn’t new and neither was I
         but now it’s only half a bed
         just me and
         the shape of you)
and a note
scribbled under
“To Do”
on the white board
stuck to the fridge.
It’s a matter of etiquette,
that complimentary closing.
But you left me no regards
no sincerely yours
just
“not yours anymore”
truly.
