Scattered Eyes
Her eyes wandered across the room
She was looking for him
But she couldn’t see him
Where was he?
Did he walk away again?
Leaving her to cry into her own shoulder
To drive herself home
To sleep with her face in her pillow, not his
I can’t let this happen
Not again
I will fall apart
The single cup of dried coffee in my sink will turn into a thousand more to wash up
The plates in the rack will multiply and the task will grow harder
I will procrastinate the thought of showering
I will cancel plans with my very few friends
I will want it all to end
Under the light of the star in the sky
Under the pressure of scattered eyes
