No Scene At The Exit

I don’t check the time
I already know
How this ends
When it’s quiet

I take my coat
The way I always do
Nothing rushed
Nothing new

There’s a look
You almost give
I don’t wait
To see if you will

I don’t need
A reason now
Some things close
Without a sound

There’s no scene
At the exit
No last line
No regret

I don’t turn
I don’t rush
I just leave
What I must

The room keeps going
Like it should
That’s how you know
You chose right

I don’t carry
What isn’t mine
I don’t rehearse
The goodbye

I’ve learned the weight
Of staying late
And when the cost
Starts to change

No scene
At the exit
No last word
Left unsaid

I don’t turn
I don’t rush
I just leave
What I must

Some endings don’t ask
They wait

No scene
At the exit
Still calm
Still sure

Still sure
