I Left My Laptop Charger

Deep breathes 

Gapped mouths 

Clasped hands 

Thumping headboard 

The entire apartment is ours 

Turn on your heater 

"The tattoo on your thigh, I like it" 

"It hurt so bad" 

"I know."

Bed sheets finally on my bare skin 

You hold my chin up 

How can you like such ugly, brown eyes? 

They're so many other people in this world that can be this lucky 

What about her?

"You don't get it. You've never got it even when you were younger. I don't care about anyone else." 

The idea that you think of me so grown and changed 

I feel like the lotus I was meant to be 

I'm drifting and changing 

Ebbing and flowing through the murky water 

You have no idea how hard it's been for someone like me 

I've been moving forward 

You can see the medications on your night table 

"Have you been feeling better?"

"Yeah, I have. Thank you"
