Silent.
I left the office early—
Not even a half day.
My car is silent,
Which you'd never believe.
You've commented that
It must be strange
To actually enjoy music all the time,
To have the volume all the way up
But now, despite the ironic burn,
Not even Alanis is playing,
Because you're the reason for the quiet.
The only sound is the occasional
Sob or gasp for air
Because you told me that you're leaving—
The one thing you promised
You swore you'd never do—
You've never done—
When everyone else left,
There was you.
But now
I left the office early,
And my car is silent.
