I closed my eyes tight
Focused on the rhythm
Tried to be okay with it
But I missed you so much today
And all I could think about
Was how your lips made a home
Your tongue a lullaby
And your hands wrapped around me was the closest I’ve ever felt to beautiful
Without you
I’ve had to relearn what I look like without your eyes to see me
I’ve had to relearn what my body wants without you to guide it
It’s been 2 months since I watched you walk out
And leave me in this hell
2 months since I’ve been homeless in my own home.

I closed my eyes tight
Focused on the rhythm
Tried to be okay with it
But I missed you so much today
And all I could think about
Was how your lips made a home
Your tongue a lullaby
And your hands wrapped around me was the closest I’ve ever felt to beautiful
Without you
I’ve had to relearn what I look like without your eyes to see me
I’ve had to relearn what my body wants without you to guide it
It’s been 2 months since I watched you walk out
And leave me in this hell
2 months since I’ve been homeless in my own home.
