Apathy

Poetry

Dog-eared paperbacks and

old love notes mean nothing to me now.

The taste of cigarettes

still have that old familiar burn.

I sit in the streets at one in the morning,

full of ache and longing

for clean sheets and a goodnight phone call.

Nowhere to go,

except for that unforgiving Hell

that was the bed we shared.

I'll call you from the corner payphone.

(no answer)

Let the reciever hang free

and walk home like I'm not heartbroken.
