by joal
she came into the house
she came unto the night
she came into the living room, but something wasn’t right*
and as we talked (it’s obvious): there’s something wrong (for sure)
she came into my house…
with one foot out the door
____________________________
it is all soooo much more obvious, now:

she came in with a pre-fabricated plan (complete with an assist from her mal-informed therapist) to exit. righteously. victim-mindedly.

* to be honest, her curt, cryptic texts (prior to arrival) were a precursor of what transpired. textbook, actually.
