I deleted you from all the records,
made you a non-person in my life.
Just point the little arrow
and bam---nothingness.
My heart will take longer
to process the update
even though it knew
this little shakeup
was in the wind.
It lurches, and hiccups
and I know
that you are putting on the boogie shoes
even before you do.
No tantrums.
No fits.
No dramatics fit for the Divine Sarah.
Only this time
when you return
all need and puppy dog hurt,
no one will be waiting.
Fool me twice---shame on me.
This isn't baseball friend---
you aren't getting a third try
to strike out with my heart.

Oh---and I always knew you were minor league.
