when you left, my insides felt
cold, they felt dry
and everything didn't feel black
it just felt gone;

we are better around each other.

Author's Note:

i didn't want to say more;
you understand?
i could, i
could tell even more about our story,
about how i sat dumbstruck in the chair
for hours until you got home,
until you crossed over the line into florida
and it all felt so still
but not
and i couldn't dare look out the window
for everything was fogged.
