Meticulously smooth
Nude legs
Shaking and quivering
[and what for?]
Revealing skirts
Flirty, open-toed shoes
Skipping cross rained-
Out parking lots
[and what for?]
Dancing on hoods
Of illegally-parked Toyotas
With broken shopping carts
Dragging along behind
[and what for?]
Falling asleep
Wrapped in teddy-
Bear hugs
Waking to see the night sky
Dripping away, into dawn
[and what for?]
Consciousness revealing only
Loneliness and cold sheets
And biting tears and
Shuddering lips
[and what for?]
Haste-strewn notes on
Post-dated envelopes wishing
You a Happy Morning and a
Happy Rest-of-your-Life
[and what for?]
Suitcases packed and sunglasses down
With ribbons in your hair
Hop onto a westbound train
[and what for?]
Run away from mistakes
And heartbreaks
And all else you ever touched
[and what for?]
Solitude and happiness
Lurking within ear-ravaging noise
Emitted from old headphones
[and what for?]
Just walk away, and pray and
Laugh and live and pretend that
You never had a first love,
And you were never abandoned.

Well written this most certainly is. Your words are each powerful, and on a very meaningful theme. I liked the repetition as well.
Here's to hoping you'll grace us with more writing sometime soon.
