It’s going to happen today
he thinks
But everyday
is the same
The coffee pour
The slamming door
This is life, crawling toward
grey on grey
Terminally bored
nowhere to aim
The petty arguments
The kneejerk judgments
She loved him
once
Now that’s dim
passion grown tame
The kisses gone dull
The relationship becoming numb
It’s going to happen today
he half hopes
Really believing, “There’s no way”
finally figuring he’s figured the game
But this time it’s true
The note says, “Please know that despite this I do love yo.”
It’s going to happen today
he tells the empty place
But the door never gives way
the only company self blame.
