He came and she left.

For a minute he thought
She was in the bathroom.
But then glancing around,
Nothing of her remained

He had finished
closed his eyes and
thought for just a moment.
Looking back he
may have fallen asleep.

Surely there must be a note.
Something.
A more thorough look
no trace.
He picked up his phone

He turned on the tv to turn off his mind.
He thought he’d wait and she’d would return
A couple movies played.
A couple dreams drifted.

In the morning
He cried
He wasn’t sure why
Then he got dressed for work
And left
