here i lie in my crumpled sheets,
the ones you have abandoned in my sleep
my heart aches for your return
hoping you just got up to get a glass of milk
or make hot breakfast
but then once I'm up
I see you have gone -
the house is vacant,
carrying nothing but your
empty presence and
lonely hearts
yes,
my heart is pained,
ripped,
gnarled,
shattered
but then again,
I'm not surprised
It was only a matter of time
that you realized
i'm not the girl you're in love with
a.m.
