A Poem by Molly Garnet

and finally
one morning
she woke up
and didn’t miss him anymore
and she put cream and sugar in her coffee
instead of tears
she went to a bookstore by herself
and read the last chapter
of seventy-six novels
she threw away the cigarettes
and poured the red wine down the sink
she walked to a local café
ate lunch alone
and paid the tab for a stranger
while window shopping
she found herself staring at every pink sundress
so she bought three
and replaced the dark rags in her closet
that night
she watched the sunset from her roof
and it became a prayer
she drank vanilla tea before going to sleep
and never again did she miss him.

This is powerful and beautifully done with all of these raw images. I love reading all the things she does since she is finally over the one who broke her heart. This is well-crafter and rich in imagery. A calmness came over me as I read this.. much like the calmness she now possesses since letting go of him. Well done!
