Sad Saucer Girl.

Original poem by Kamalini Govender.  Artist unknown via Pinterest.

 

I watched him go

even though my heart was full

and his was trying.

I watched him go

as the earth caved in

and the banshees swore.

I watched him go

because he never thought to turn around

and see the holes he made in our laughter.

I watched him go

because I knew one day he’d ask me to.
