lose my number

lose my number,
she writes
in capital letters.
delete it from your
list
of women.
forget you ever met
me. I am not
here to play games,
to be a pawn
on the checker board
of your life.
so erase me from
your mind, your phone.
cancel any plans you
may have been
thinking of, or not,
while last night, by
the window, with
my cat,
I sat at home alone.
