This is How You Lose Her

Today you wake up

And something is different

Something is more different than all the different in every other day you wake up,

and feel different.

 

Something is almost

Wrong.

 

You reach your hand over to feel her skin

Yet you only feel the covers

Odd.

 

She's making breakfast

You think to yourself

 

You hope

 

You flip your feet over the side of the bed

and feel around for your slippers,

Missing.

 

You ***** around for your glasses,

Gone.

 

With blurred vision and wobbly steps

You make your way down the steps

The kitchen is a wreck

 

No trace of the girl.

This is how you lose her.
