Hating Tuesdays

he liked to leave me on Tuesdays
i don't really know why
i've learned to dread that day
as if it holds contempt for me
to take what i love

from the time we kiss and say our goodnights
at the end of a monday to the few hours in between
before he's supposed to leave for work that Tuesday
something happends inside of him
as if a crazy brush has painted over his thoughts
or atomic implosion that destroys
his conscience and common sense
where he abandons everything
including the girl who still waits on Tuesdays

i'd like to make peace with Tuesdays
so why don't we make a deal here
bring him back on a Tuesday
and all will be forgiven
