adelaide- alone

as i sat alone
on bus 3,
tears swelled in my eyes
like a pond
that had been rippled
i thought about the days
when i'd enter the bus
sleepy and tired
from a heroic night
of staying up until
3 am;
yet full of joy
i'd march to the
very back
and sit next to james
i would cuddle up
next to him
letting him wrap his arms
around me
he'd say
"adi, how late did you
stay up last night?"
i'd answer him
he'd shake his head
and kiss my forehead
whispering "that's not good"
james would talk to our
friends
getting a few periodic giggles
i would lean
my head on his strong shoulder
and just smile
i smiled at the world
for giving me this happiness
on a silver platter
but it was only now,
as i sat hopelessly alone
on the falling-apart bus
did i realize that
the happiness
had food poisoning
that was the only logical explanation
james had dumped me
for a prettier girl
with a bigger butt
and a larger smile
james had even moved
across the country
for crying out loud
now the only thing
i had left
was myself
i wiped my tears
and plugged in my headphones
