My small revenge – poetry

Yaël Brunnert

by Yaël Brunnert

Story




When you’re gone
I don’t wear my hair up
I flush the toilet all the way through

I leave the heat on as hot as I want

I sing as loudly as I desire


When you’re gone
I think of anyone but you
I imagine having a man in your bed

Rolling in the sheets with him

Where you’ve been with her


When you’re gone
I only make the tea I want
I’m free of you
I don’t pick up the hairs in the bathroom

I let my anger go where it wants to


When you’re gone
I’m perfect just the way I am

No insecurities
No regrets

I’m free to be who I want to be


Stay away
´cause I’m not strong enough
Not strong enough to always stay away from you

It’s the least
the very least you can do.
