Goodbye

by Tam Lulu



I drove her to a small cottage beside the beach, just like the one Hansel and Gretel lived everything was

        Revealed, he wasn’t at his office that Saturday night, I didn’t

Realize she was such a beauty until I examined her closely, her cheeks were

        Flushing, he shoved me in rage, Oh God

This was so good, I never knew kissing could be so heavenly, I knew she was

        The person who could be possibly killing me anytime, I was petrified

That someday I might lose this girl, but I knew I won’t

        Love him, love without faith is like religion without faith,

She tossed her hair and it smelled like caramel and banana, the sweetness

        Have always blinded me from seeing the real him, his words of love trapped me

Into this room, where two lonely people became less lonely because of

        The lie, the deleted message, the scornful ring and barbie pink underwear,

Nothing more was left to pursue since I have found you

        The person who leaves me with sleeping pills who madly, awaits

For his girl to say yes. And you did.

        I did. I tried my best to stand out from your colleagues’ uneducated housewives

You have changed, you incredulously spy on everything, you

        Were drunk on our marriage anniversary and I saw this text

We are nothing more than working partners, maybe friends

        When did you last give me your dainty schoolboy smile?

I am not living with someone who’s not trusting me by looking into my eyes

        I am not living with someone who did nothing to gain my trust
