Half
Past
You
I
see
the
smiles
you
used
to
flash
in
my
direction.
They
disappear
down
the
drain,
circling
with
tooth
paste
and
hair
moisturizer.
I
see
the
looks
you
used
to
give
me.
They
flush
down
the
toilet
now.
But
when
the
clock
brings
in
the
start
of
a
brand
new
day.
I
take
a
deep
breath
and
watch
you
leave.
