A Dark Road

A Dark Road

A Poem by Michael Lopez
"

wifey got mad.....

"

The pain your words make.
Are like razor blades and salt.
You pierce my heart.
By you turning and walking away.
I stand here alone.
In the heat of the night.
Trying to comprehend on what…
Actually just happened.
I look at my watch.
And realize the time.
For tomorrow I have to watch my daughter.
And as I walk towards the house.
I glance down the dark long road.
And in disbelief I mumble the words…
"She actually left".
