Leaving

I sat staring
Out across the lake
Glimpsing the other
Side.

No one there but
Me.
Just sitting there
By myself.
Alone.

I wish you were there
With me. To
Comfort me.
But you weren't.

As I stood,
And walked back to my
Car, I realized
How stupid I'd been.

To fall for all of what
You did to me.
What everyone
Did to me.

And I drove out
Of the town.
Never to see it
Again.
