in the morning
i thought a smaller bed
would bring us
closertogether
and you would want to wrap
your arms around me
and kiss me until i giggled
and tried to push you away
while really wanting to
drawyoucloser
i never thought you would turn
your back
on
me
while i sat naked with my arms
drawn around my breasts
feeling ashamed and
left stark
and
cold
so chilled blankets wouldn't help
i tried praying and sending you messages
through my head hoping that you would
see what i needed was your arms around
me
and instead of me being the first thing
in your hands in the morning
the tv remote was there
and i was left
to put together the pieces
i let fall out of me
the night
before
