I want my money back

You told me I should think about leaving. Every time you checked your watch the light reflected in my eyes. Such a subtle hint you must have thought. Conversation struck up and abruptly crashed into a dead end. Like my car you wrecked and then apologized about for a week. You must have thought I'd lord it over you, because the next week you said you needed space. I said join NASA. You didnt laugh. Now I'm not sure what I'm begging for. You sigh and roll your eyes becuase you know I hate it. Your wrong about most things, but I say your right so you wont be embarrassed. You direct me to the door with such familiarity. I remeber how good you were with directions. Funny that you always made me read the map. The side panel of my car is a different color. An embarrassing reminder of you. Somehow I still think of turning around. But I wont, I'll just go back to my apartment that you hated. I'll go back to bare walls and lamps without shades. I'll go back to shadows.

alot of feeling and emotion is expressed, quite a bit of detail in the lines, but I can't determine a particular format, seems to tell story-ish, than poetic, I think the lines and metre need to be tighter so some words or lines may need to go, its interesting, but reads to me like a poem thats in need of structure or a summary of a story incomplete.
