brand names

the pillows you left behind
   make me sad
      for you
even the Ralph Lauren
     feather pillow
 mildewed and pathetic
  you stood before me
  in your ironed clothes
  and asked me to guess
   the brand of your shirt
 I hurt for you
  because I don't care
 and there's not enough
   love inside me
  to take you
   as you
     are
