I wonder if
The minute you decided
To distance yourself from me
You zipped up the last
Of your suitcases
And tucked them under the bed
Where I wouldn’t see
Is that why you keep
Your shoes on now
Each time you sit on my couch
Just in case your heart
Grows fond
And you know
Its time to walk out
I feel like a road block
To your destination
Now I’m just a pit stop
A leftover in the making
I wonder
Does your heart put up a fight
When your lips come close to mine
Does your conscience come out to play
And leave me on the other side
I feel like the dog
You took out to the yard
But forgot to shoot
I just watch you check your pockets
And leave the keys, but take your boots
I wonder if
When you chose
To distance yourself from me
You pushed me from behind
Where I couldn't see
