Up the road,

past the Sportspark,

like we do

every week.

I'm dolled up

to go to asda,

you're bouncing

on your new nikes.

 

We chat about

some mindless shit,

like we do

all day long.

It's only as

we reach the car

that you realise

something's wrong.

 

Are you joking?

No, I can't do it.

I'm not getting in

your girlfriend's car!

Up until now

she didn't exist.

You've really gone

too fucking far.

Lovely neat twist in the final stanza. Really enjoyed this, melodramatic but not mundane.

I enjoyed the short punchy structure and the final stanza. I can picture this couple. 

The beat of your heart is the mellifluent rhythm to my soul.
