Burn the message

You leave my life much before 
I can learn your smell.

You borrow 
someone else's metaphor

to buy me an excuse
instead of a smile

to buy me distance
instead of  coffee.

You leave before we can
make memories.

I stand alone.

  2. That second sentence over stanzas 2 - 5 is a masterpiece.
