Beer Party

At the end of October, 
Three months after we had parted,
They came to my place to pack a few things
That she had left in August,
Hoping against hope for our reunion
We were four, two girlfriends, Mike and me,
They went in, she and her man, younger than her…
Being aware of my delicate tobacco taste,
Knowing I couldn’t afford it at the moment,
She kept smoking her hopeless endless pipe
(Very expensive, but tobacco was cheap)
We were sitting in the sitting-room with TV-set on,
She hiding her slight surprise of seeing my company,
He talking to Mike,
We watching TV…
Well, the subject was simple: she had to pack…
So, she was packing while we were having a beer party…
Then, tired of that ugly situation, I went without saying good-bye…
About an hour later I drove up and scanned the party picture.
The couple was gone, so were my company.
I stepped into my place: it was lifeless.
I sat down and took a sip of beer…
