deb
as
i
sit
here
in
your
all
but
empty
room
all
i
can
think
is
"
why
did
you
have
to
go
to
work
today
-?"
i
woke
with
a
chill
this
morning
that
the
overheated
blankets
couldn't
ward
off
and
reached
for
you
-
your
music
has
kept
me
company
in
your
empty
absence
as
i
count
the
seconds
(
down
to
5001,
now
,
i
think
)
until
i
see
that
face
of
yours
smile
through
the
slowly
widening
crack
of
this
door
so
much
has
happened
and
my
heart
should
be
laughing
giddily
as
a
preschooler,
while
,
in
actuality,
her
broken
half
-smile
is
weighed
against
these
teary doe
eyes
and
she
finds
herself
lost
,
flitting
away
on
this
wind
that
should
be
more
crisp
(
for
january
)
while
these
eyes
wait
heavily
for
your
slow
return
-
i
don't
ever
want
to
have
to
leave
you
again
