Someone else's problem

by Sam Harty

By ᔕᗩᗰ ᕼᗩᖇTYPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

I saw a couch on

the side of the road

Abandoned

left for someone else

to throw away

I thought, isn't that

Typical

of people today?

Use it and toss it

seems to have become

our way. Where did

Accountability

go or did it get

Ditched

on the side of the road

too, I can see what

a bad precedent this sets,

can you?

Like that couch,

she tossed my heart away,

used, broken

without two words of

Explanation.

Use it, lose it, on to the

next new sensation like

our love was just an

Apparition.
