A Very Painful Breakup
Nonetheless
I heard you scream when you slammed the door.
Heard you cry from the other side,
like I cried when you left me
with a middle finger
salute. The very
finger you jammed
in the door.
Karma,
Bitch.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Ha, I'm such a big fan of Karma. Too bad that fingers not broke
Ooh, I like it! Nice bit of karma 😁
This is a very witty piece of work, and the ending? I can relate. I should have had these words when I needed them in the past when everyone left!
This gave me a little chuckle at the end which I was not expecting lol. Thanks!
