Ain't Comin Back

7/23/13

you wake to find the ghost

of one of her brown hairs on

your black pillowcase

she was just here, but

now she is gone and

she ain’t coming back

her side of the bed is

still warm but her heart has

turned cold, ice cold for you

she was just here, but

now she is gone and

she ain’t coming back

she took all of her clothes

leaving you to find the skeleton

hangers that signal her decision to leave

she was just here, but

now she is gone and

she ain’t coming back

you can still smell her perfume

in the air that she hasn’t

been in now for awhile

she was just here, but

now she is gone and

she ain’t coming back

you’d give anything to taste

her last kiss on your lips, but

the flavor is gone, so very gone

she was just here, but

now she is gone and

she ain’t coming back

she ain’t coming back
