I keep them there to remind me that it was real
To assure myself I'm not crazy for the way I feel

The screen taken out, the window ajar,
Whispers of sweet nothings drifting from a far

They tickle my ears and worm their way in
Making me want to act on my thoughts of sin

My head and my heart say the same thing, for once they coincide
But it's not enough to keep you out although I know you lied.

I trusted you whole heartedly, gave you everything I could
You took the pieces of my heart and ran, just like I knew you would.

I'm left barren and hollow with checkered pajamas bundled on the floor,
Wishing you'd come back and love me like you did before,

Back when you meant everything you said,
Back when I didn't have to question and would welcome you to my bed.

A time not long ago, but it seems so far away;
Two years ago when my heart was full and not in disarray.

Now here I sit staring at those stupid pants,
Waiting for you to give me a glance,

Just a peek, maybe, into your mind
To see exactly what feelings you've been able to leave behind

In a place filled with smiles, laughs, and a home;
In a time when both of us didn't feel so broken and alone.
