Thursday morning coffee

Poem

My days have been lonely since you were gone

I order starbucks for two now

The second pillow on my bed has no use

Other than to fill my chest some nights

Somedays I stick my head out the window

And see as if it was you walking down the slope

Waving and smiling at me while laughing

And they say time is the cure

But my time runs slow

As I look at the sheets of paper around me

With the poems I have given you

I see how happy I was

Writing for someone, somehow

As i take a sip of my Thursday morning coffee

I find myself missing you

As I take the bus ride to work

I find myself in the blinding lights of your shadow

I lose my grip and my balance

The future plans we have made

Are just fairy tales now

Ever since the day you wanted to meet new bodies

I have been losing my own more and more

When im on fire up on all fronts

I find my chest full of bullet holes

With no one to share

With no one to tell me

That one day

Ill be okay
