I left you a threat
under my pillow
on the left side of your bed
my heart told me to so do
I left you years of care
hoping they'd sleep
and drift into dream
maybe become memories
I left you wishes
here and there
but for some reason
it just felt unfair
I left you watches
hoping time would treat you well
and remind you
of things passed
I left you kisses
on your back
hoping they'd serenade you to sleep
on sleepless nights
I left you with a scent
that I thought
would shake your fossilized
memories of me
I left you,
way before you left me
but not really
I never did
