she was kind like that

she leaves
in the middle
of the night
with one suitcase,
the old car,
her cat. she leaves
the dog,
and leftovers
in the fridge.
she was always kind
like that.
she even put
a pot of coffee
on for the morning
so that i could
sit there and
read the note
she wrote
about sorry, but
i'm never coming
back. she was
kind like that.
