"Uhm, so, we did break up."
"Well, okay, uhm, I've got to go."
"We just got here."
"Yeah, but, I really need to go."
"Why?"
"Family emergency," she showed him her phone.
"Oh, okay, I guess I'll enjoy the carnival by myself."
"Call Nicole, she'd love to."
"No need," he said, shrugging.
"Gotta go, it's really a family emergency," but she was lying, and she knew it.
"M'kay, bye."
so I drive home alone
as i turn off the lights,
i put his picture down and
maybe get some sleep tonight.
