One night at a time <br />Is not quite enough, <br />One whole night a week <br />You call my bluff. <br /> <br />You're just the next comma <br />In this list of passers by, <br />You came, you stopped, you left <br />Without a plausible goodbye, <br />You're just another heartbreak, <br />Another staple in my eye. <br /> <br />If sparks could fly, <br />I'm pretty sure they would <br />But that won't ease the pain <br />When you've turned your back for good.<br /><br />Neil Solan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-next-comma/
