    There are mornings when
    "Good Morning America"
    wakes me up
    and I don't need to
    open my eyes
    to know you're still
    not home

        ●

    There are mornings when
    we stand in the shower
    together, for hours
    and lick each other's
    wounds

        ●

    There are mornings when
    the phone rings
    only once

    there are mornings when
    I pick it up
    quickly
    to a click

    there are mornings when
    I get calls
    too

        ●

    There are mornings when
    I feel I know what will happen
    to us
    years from now

    and roll over.

    this. [That sense of an empty bed...]

    I don't need to
    open my eyes
    to know you're still
    not home
