I never suspected I had OCD Until I replayed your voicemail On the answering machine A total of twelve times Every evening Just to hear your voice again Or until I opened your dresser drawer Thirty times Before I went to bed Just so I could smell Your leftover scent Wafting into the air Or until I rearranged my shoes In the closet four times Before I left the house Because you hated tripping over them On your way out But I knew I didn't have OCD When I finally locked the door And turned off the light And made the bed on your side For the very last time.
Inspired by the OCD poem performed by Neil Hilborn.
