Just so you know,

You pressed your scent into my sheets,

You left your saliva on my skin,

You have my CDs in your car,

You left your change beside my bed,

You have my heart inside your pocket,

I found your hair tucked in my bed,

I found your fingertips indented,

I found a scar across my chest,

My heart is beating in the distance, tucked away and bound and chained.

My heart is beating in the distance, and while I'm empty

i remain
