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
