You said it plainly enough

You said it plainly enough
While sitting across from me
Your lips perfectly formed the words
Precise and straight to the point
You gave me a reason, actually a few
Over a pork chop dinner I prepared
As we sat in our dining room
You asked me to speak
To say anything at all
But no words would come to me
After all, your decision has been made
I didn't think you'd really want to be bothered
With my thoughts or my feelings
I just wanted to eat dinner
Watch a movie
Take a glass of wine to bed
Set our alarms for the morning
Fall asleep holding each other
Just like any other night
But no, not tonight
Tonight you told me you were leaving.
