papers and coffee stains,
although you prefer tea.

time spent swaying and sighing,
not talking to me.

this life is messy!
so very cluttered.
but what you don't understand is that,
on day one, my heart fluttered.

this life is stressy!
groaning, trying
screaming, crying.
you pull at your hair, and I will too.
because this life is stressy,
I'll never leave you.
