iSlut

i’ll give yer a call in the week

was the last thing he said as the door

closed and his footsteps

faded away into the early morning 

yeah right i’m gonna believe that

but i do every time and make excuses

thousands of excuses that his phone

must be broken or he has run out

of credits and i check my phone

make sure it’s still working

wonder if maybe he is working away

on one of his UN special missions

in some remote place

and can’t get a signal

what if he’s had an accident

and lost his memory or is in a coma 

or press ganged by pirates and forced

to sail the seven seas or even had his identity

stolen and now he doesn’t know 

who he is

then again

perhaps i’m just a slut
