Just Visiting
he never really came back
to find us a home together
our house was just
a small rest stop
in Appalachia
until the next woman
or job came calling
it never got easy
no matter how many
times he told me
he loved me
because I never had
a reason to believe
anything he said
when the only
promise I wanted
was to take me along

Strong, clear, and effective writing
Wow. I almost cried and this isn’t even my story (just out of feeling sympathy pain). Great writing! You painted a vivid picture in minimal strokes!
