Departures

where are you
hiding beneath pillows and sheets
of paper i have written on
trying to decode words that i have
repeated to you a million times

you're flying out today
wake me up at 2 am so i will
see you off
leaving me alone in cold house
with colder heart
shrugging off my tears

seems i have been waiting for you
for years
your arrival the
ultimate disappointment

i wished on stars for
something better than what you gave
wished that i were
better for you
twisted myself into a
million positions
wishing you would just
untangle me and let me breathe

there are many ways to lie
but only one way to stand
my back to you because i'm not
going back to you
won't waste wishes on
men who tie me up
only to let me go.
