Walk Away

Once again, another man has turned his back on me.

I watch U walk away and I take a photo of U with my mind
Your face
looking back at me
Your backpack
as though this is for good like a cartoon
only sad

I watch U walk away and I know
that this might be the last I see U
in person
Just Instagram
As I live vicariously through everyone’s lives
but mine

U look back at me with a bright smile
A face that I already adore
And I close the door
And I try to shut down my mind
with a hit of MJ
and a few sips of Blue Agave

Cuz I’ve got the blues
like I always do
It’s not a depression
It’s a sadness
a yearning
for what everyone has but me

I watch U walk away in your blue shirt
Me in mine
I can’t wait to take it off
Wish I could change my favorite color
sometimes
I wish I could change my mind

I go months and years between lovers
and I remain hopeful for that energy
that only monogamous birds share
For that colorful display of affection
For the song, and the food. For the security
of knowing you’ll come back

I watch U walk away and I mourn
the relationship that will never be.
