Whenever You Say You'Re Leaving Poem by Melanie Emikohe
Whenever You Say You'Re Leaving
Should I count
the times you slam
that door and say
'It's all over'?
But you've filled
the suitcase
more times
than you've actually left.
And empty it
before the sunset;
your clothes stay
hanging in my closet.
How much worth
the tickets
every time we think
it's finished?
Inspite of this, dear
all the times you seem
to leave, I always fear
that it's for real.
