Class

She's far too classy
to tell me in so many words
that it won't work out
because I am a spineless loser.
She implies that this
is my doing, that I have
chosen one love, one need
over another.
She packs her bag,
the one she unpacked here
so very few months ago
and she kisses me softly
on the lips,
goodbye,
managing to muster a tear
or two
before she leaves me alone again.
And in the night that follows
I am wracked by visions
of my life
what will be
what cannot be
what I should change
and cannot,
and the spiral of regret that
pulls me down inside myself
is almost enough to convince me
that I have to find a way
out of the rabbit hole
that there is a way
back to who I was
before I gave in
to me.
