I simply didn’t understand.

No explanation and no heart.

He poured out his love like a shot of vodka,

then left it sticking on the cold floor.

A silence filled the party as his lips touched hers,

she touched his clothes like they were made of satin,

his chest like his heart was made of gold.

I tried and tried asking why,

he didn’t understand,

i didn’t either,

the silence did.

A slow breeze travelled through the door,

and as he left,

he shut it wide open.
