My sunglasses twinkle While they lay on your breast I say “Go mingle” You say “I’ll do my best” We’ve been doing alright We’re getting by It’s been what, a week now? Since either of us has cried “Time to go” keys jingle Crunching through the snow It sounds like stale Pringles “Why’d we have to go?” “Why were we there at all?” “I don’t know? Welfare call?” “I just want to go to sleep” “Our blankets run deep” Keys jingle “Back. Finally.” One slow upstairs trod Above my door frame A white board hangs on a rod 9 \ Days since last breakdown “Scratch that” Zero

I wrote this a while ago when I was a different person. May it bring you solace should you need it or a reflection upon your past self.
