5:59 AM
Wake up. 5:59 AM. Knock on my door.
You're here. Get up, pants on, hand on the handle, address my fear.
Door Opens. Morning light dances in your hair. Fuck you, its not fair.
Your eyes glisten, swollen nose red, then you said, "Please."
We broke up the night before, and I've never felt this way before.
6:00 AM. We hug for the last time, it stops. Your body
Against mine for the last time
Arms around your waits, and I feel you cry
But I can't try to make it better, you ended this, even if
you didn't want to.
6:01 AM. Holding back tears, holding back fears
Of the future, I see us empty, lost and lonely, I see
myself broken and alone. You? Drifting on your own.
You step back, no longer my home and hand me my wireless headphones...
