Communication

Leaving the kitchen light on

Tells me that there’s dishes to wash there before going to bed

.

Turning your blinker on

Lets me know what you’ll do so I won’t panic

.

That magnetic sign on the dishwasher

Informs me whether the dishes inside it are clean or dirty

.

The way you answer me in grunts when I ask if you love me

Is a clear enough way to show that you just don’t any more.

.

No words are needed

No fight must come

Forget the shouting

I’ll just keep mum

.

I’m just the roadkill you can drive away from.
