the autobiography of a nervous nobody

Folder: 
first

every day- wake up.

smoke before the thoughts of you wake up.

drink my coffee on the couch.

pour an extra cup for you.

end up drinking both- i am wired.

 

i have to stay so focused

on doing my own thing.

focus too hard and crumble.

 

i can still smell your skin on my sheets.

i want to lay in bed all day,

get high until you float away.

 

i feel it all at once,

and then nothing at all.

 

missed my doctors appointment

because you were supposed to go with me.

everywhere i go

you were supposed to go with me.

 

now i'm doing it alone

with you half way down the globe.

i pray that i can sustain my love,

although time has never made me warmer.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

life is too short for burnt coffee and for people who have burnt you.
