exit wound.

i missed the day you left
busy with the dishes and the carpet
someone had spilt
again
and the music was on
the phone was ringing 
and i never heard the door swing
shut over the laugh track
they left playing on the sitcom
i was trying to ignore
you were gone
before i even realized

i had made you a goodie bag
with your favorite things
and a note saying
"when finished being lost
please return to
36 Orchard Lane
Sugarland"

i suppose you did not want to be reminded.
