One Last

e-mail to do me in
nail the coffin
destroy what is left of
my good standing
with our family members
my family already hates me
thinks I'm headed for hell
your parents are next
the day before Father's Day
how can I word it
to make it any easier
on them
tonight you brought me a rose
tonight I drove around listening to music
bought toilet paper and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"
you mention his name and I smile
despite myself
you hate me
but you mention marriage counseling
and more prescription medication
Vegas is a month away
I can play along
I know the ticket is non-refundable
but you know I can't look out windows
and cry alone listening to music
forever.
