stayed at home 
you went out 
left me with so much 
to think about

replaying movies
every scene
worried didn’t know 
who to believe

when I was the wife
making bread 
taking care 
you were restless

I was the wife 
I could imagine 
a place for us 
a relationship

followed the drama 
dog earring the page 
waking up waiting 
for episodes to play

picked up the pen 
never went back
became a writer 
you my subject
