NOT SEEING.

A GIRL IS DUMPED BY HER BOYFRIEND

That sudden realisation
that he doesn't

love you any more;
the words he had said

that evening,
the look he gave;

and it is as much
as you can do

to take it in.
The days and nights

when you thought
he was the best thing

for you;
now it is as if

he had emptied you
of all being,

left you
in the dark

like one not seeing.
