Is
It wrong
That the thing
I miss when you're gone
Is the television's dull hum
The silence is lonely, but the absence is relief
That I can walk down into the kitchen without akward words or my *** getting grabbed
I
Turned on
NPR
And I felt at ease
More at home at night on my own
Than I've felt in a long time, am I so wrong if I
Can't
Say that
I'm upset
Somehow lost when you
Aren't at home in the evening hours?
And
That I'm
Not upset
That I don't have to
Justify every move and twitch
That I prefer to talk to the man who I can't judge?
If
It is
Wrong for me
To think like I do
(Though you do claim to read my mind)
I'm
Not sure
I can show
You who I am now
