i don’t know why i’m here
it all happened so fast, i was in a daze
or perhaps a trance
my legs just kept propelling me in this direction despite
my common sense
though i’m not sure if i even have that
left
i’m sorry i stained your pillow case with mascara
i’m sorry i noticed the bottle of zopiclone sitting on your bedside
i’m sorry i wrecked your perfectly made bed
i’m sorry i’m so needy and stubborn
my legs led me here, i had no choice
i didn’t want this, i really didn’t
it’s just that sometimes i can feel my heart beating
in your chest, which would explain this unrelenting ache because
my body just can’t seem to part with it.
i’m sorry i came here expecting something from you
but i will re-make your bed,
remove the mascara from your pillow,
and set the alarm when i leave,
leaving no trace of my self
behind, aside
from the invisible fingerprints on your piano keys.
