Happy New Years

Made to feel like a child
At a cafe
On a Wednesday 
Happy new year to me
Everything I’ve lost
Summed up in one dish
What’s left ,
put in a box
Reheat, repeat 
I fantasize about driving off the road 
in a graceful swoop
A ballerina crash
Can you curtsy with a concussion
An encore whore
With her tutu in flames 
I only wanted to be happy 
Instead I get a hundred fleeting moments
Straws and tar in a syringe
You laugh at my trembling lips asking 
You lie like a dog
Eyes to the ground
And you call me pathetic
I hope you can live with yourself....he says 
That was always the plan. 
You were simply a detour 
A fork in the road 
A roadside toilet 
A dash in and dart out 
You were never it for me.
