Charity Janisse

I stayed a while after you walked away
just sat there in the place I saw you last.
I didn’t want you to know
really
that I was waiting there at all,
but you would have seen me,
if you’d bothered to come back.
Don’t know what I wanted
exactly
but I thought I might find it there
right where
you left me,
so I stayed…
just a little while
in that place where I saw you last.
