…and to apologize, I’m posting two today!
She leaves and I am more mad than hurt:
I suppose it’s just how selfish I am.
Thinking she’d want to stay here-
When there holds more to find.
Squat shoeboxes in my closet:
There I find letters to my future self.
They tell me, “Be good, be smart.”
I must tell them I’ve failed.
