Alone With These Walls

"ALONE WITH THESE WALLS"


the street in this
God forsaken city
is quiet.

I see you on the
bed, I see where
you're supposed
to be, I see a belly
button full of
purpose.

a laugh so immaculate
the gods take a second
look at their lovers and
cringe.

tonight you're under
another roof, tonight
your pillow stays cold.

tonight,
I miss you.
