I have tried for so long to let it go. These nights
won't let me, let it go. These dreams
want it to be real again.
This bed is only holding half her expected weight;
she creaks in protest as I lay here.
I toss & turn away from where you were before.
Before you walked away from me.
It never matters what I do. You live in me.
I've got you under my skin. You continuously
climb in & out with ease.
I sit here now & tell myself it's not okay. That
tomorrow is a new day, & when you knock on
the door I won't open it anymore.
Oh but I know that I will. That you will smile
that stupid smile I love to hate & I
will smile back.
