let go

Wake up

Light a cigarette

Inhale deeply

Splash cold water
on your face
And look appraisingly

At your reflection

Hungover

Unshaven

You look like shit

Almost two months since she left
Almost a month since she lost your child

She still says she loves you

Misses you

She texts you everyday

But says
She doesn't have "time"
To come for a visit

And every day you wonder

Why you can't just

Let

Go
