What you said?
What you did?
You don’t even know
I’ll bet
that with those words
you did what hurricanes and floods could not.
Those four simple sentences
were enough
to destroy our home.

I am desolate.
I feel abandoned.
I know I am alone
even with you here
beside me.
I will never go back to that place
that you demolished
with a mutter and laugh.

From now on,
I am homeless
and bereft
and crushed
and you did it
with little effort
and no thought.

You didn’t realize
did you
that you had orchestrated our end
with such ease?
Did you understand
that after what you did
we would be through?
