The black kettle is going off in the kitchen I can't bare to get off the couch and open the swinging door He won't be there Sitting at the old, scuffed wooden table with a cup of coffee There will be no unread newspaper sitting by the bread I won't find a ***** dish in the sink to clean once he's gone for the day The spot where his work boots once sat by the door looks bare It even smells different I know it hasn't been long But I already miss the smell of tobacco and gasoline I miss the clutter that filled my now organized nightstand I miss the comfort of having someone sleep by my side But I was never good to you And you weren't good to me You said you would never love again So why am I still scared to go in the kitchen While you're someone else's man
