Bus Station

We went together
to the lonely midnight
bus station.
She picked up her bag
to board.
Desperate,I sought something
to make her not get on,
to make her not go,
to make her stay.
I couldn’t think,
my brain slowed with tears.
Find the right words,
dammit.
Nothing to say
anyhow.
She made up her mind
about a new job,
she made up her mind
about us,
she made up her mind
about me.
We went together
to the lonely midnight
bus station.
Leaving in separate directions.
