my cheeks are wet

my eyes are raw

i'm thirsty.

my spine is curled

my temples are pounding

tonight is the first night alone.

i'm unfaithful to positivity

and a crying shame to optimism

i need to sink right down and never ever see you again.

i'm covetous, impatient, damaged, threatened, itching, empty and grey.

there are so many things i want you to say to save my day.
