After the Texas Lounge Closes Her Ex Drives to Her House

I’m sorry we sold our house

and your wedding ring’s tucked away.

I didn’t know your going out on me,

all those guys, was only a phase,

a skin adventure, and when I said

I didn’t want you, things would change.

Three AM, I’m ringing your doorbell.

You’re alone, you’re not alone.

I’m sorry I didn’t know us that well,

that in time we’d be in separate houses,

distanced, no reconciliation.

What happens never happens again.
