It's Not Like I Planned It This Way (Watty Awards 2013)

red corvette

it had been six weeks

since you talked to me

and my heart was aching

i tried to make you cupcakes

to smooth everything over

because i missed you so much

i even made the frosting butterfinger flavoured

they were perfect

i was really proud

i'd never thought my mothers baking lessons

would come in handy

so i brought them over to your house

there was a red corvette in the driveway

i knew it was her

i got out

and placed the cupcakes

on your welcome mat

i could smell the weed from there

i rang the doorbell

then sprinted back home

with tears streaming down my eyes

i hadn't cried that much since i dropped my lollipop in the sewer

when i was four

there were so many tears

flooding my vision

that i didn't see the jeep heading towards me

and it didnt see me

but i sure as hell felt it.
