It doesn’t work when I tell myself
Tomorrow, I will pretend not to know you
“Let’s go home”
I always think about saying
I miss out on so much
Locking myself away for you

My deep dive into your existence
My dearest expression
The struggle to contain my excitement
The way I give very little excuses

Wings of decay
Crimson colors that leech from her back
I was grounded when you descended
Your naked body, I couldn’t unsee

My room door was always open
The walk was shorter than usual
I made sure
That the comforts were new
Where was the confusion

Did he touch you better than me
Does his body keep you awake
Do you sleep better next to him
Do you need more time to figure things out

You pick the scent of the candles
And you pick what roses
You want me to pluck the petals off of

I wouldn’t treat you
Like late nights and early mornings
We still have mid-day
And early evenings
