REVENGE

on the day he
left me
i went to his workplace and
found his car in the parking lot
and scraped my keys along the side

the scar was deep and ugly but not
as deep
as the scar in my soul

then i remembered
his car is blue not red

please forgive me
red car owner

i am a woman of passion

in my position
you would have done the same
