Scoot In

Night falls
And here they come
Every time
My god
They scoot in
Close.
Mistakes..
Regrets.
They whisper to me
Reminding me.
I hate them
Yet I wait for them
With anticipation
Breathe them in.
Welcome them.
Embrace them.
Play them
Over and over.
In my head.
Feel it...
Till it hurts.
I never saw you coming.
Never dreamed
It would end
Like this.
Broken
Changed...
Sometimes I run
My hand over
The empty side of the
Bed..
Remembering you here
Feel the emptiness.
I would give anything
To have you back.
But it doesn't matter
What I give
You're not coming back.
You haunt me
You are gone...
You are complicated.
You make my stomach
Hurt..
But my God
When you
Scoot in...
Those memories..
That smile
Those eyelashes...
That heart.
It stops me.
Right where
I am.
Beautiful
Beautiful
Complicated
Man..
When night falls
And you
Scoot
In close..
That pain..
How my breath
Catches..
How my
Stomach
Hurts.
I hold it
Close.
Praying for the pain
To stop..
And secretly
Hoping
It never does
Because once the
Pain is gone....
I'll have
Nothing
Left
At all.
So for now..
Scoot in...
I'll make room.
Plenty of room
For the pain.
