I watched Darcy
yank her watch off
like it meant nothing,
your face crumple in defeat
because you thought you
could cling to something,
but money can't buy
back the years or
erase all the tears.
Her voice is unheard of
after the tone -
goodness knows why
you still dial her phone,
you still pretend you've
got a wife back home;
the truth is, you're
all alone.
I watched Darcy yank you off
because you meant nothing,
your pockets stuffed with deceit
because you had to
cling to something.
