I woke up heavy

With no coffee or hot tea

On a dark morning

~

No one next to me

To whisper my favorite songs

Softly in my ear

Who will I turn to

Since you are no longer there

To answer my calls

–

I stare out into

A frigid midnight winter

Alone and desperate

We waited along

A bridge of jumping lovers

Falling to their deaths

I pretend I don’t

Miss you or care about us

It’s just easier

–

I try to resist

Dreaming of your smiling face

At night and all day
