elope,
it was the only way i decided.
it would force her to stay,
maybe it would make her love me again like she used to.
i told her to get in the car,
told her i'd drive her stuff to her new place.
i told her i wouldn't get in her face.
she agreed,
saying this was the last time.
i nodded,
but i knew this wasn't goodbye,
because she wouldn't leave me behind.
i drove,
headlights on,
down the dark road.
it's down that street.
i ignored her directions and drove straight on,
towards the place.
Kevin,
you missed the side street.
Kevin,
where are we going?
we are going to get married.
the memories from last week,
when i picked her up from the park.
that guy under the sign,
the one she looked at,
she was cheating on me.
i can't believe i just noticed,
now that i see him standing in the middle of that same park.
her door flew open,
and she fell from the door.
she scrambled off the ground,
and i followed her.
she ran across the grass,
following the guy.
i'm not sure what i said,
it wasn't important anyway.
my girl was running,
running from me.
i was the monster,
but i couldn't change that,
it's what she did to me.
