romeo, pfffft

i won't cut my ear off 

for you,

my love. ala van Gogh,

nor will

i throw myself off

a bridge,

or like juliet and romeo

fade

into eternity

by drinking 

a poison potion.

i wont

write a long letter

of love

for you,

expressing my sadness

and sorrow

at our ending,

or carve our initials into

a tree.

but what i will do is

set your bags out

on the curb,

wish you well, and take

the duplicate

car pass and key.
