polishing off a bottle of cheap wine
in our old room
your presence hangs around in the air
like the photos on the walls
that ive painted about a hundred times
but i just cant seem to get it right
so here i lay alone tonight
i used your old mug today for my cup of tea
i remember how it broke on the day you decided to leave me
the chips on the side look just like the notches in my spine
and now i know
its plain to see
why you had to go
so far away from me
let me soak in with the mud this may
let me bury myself in all these fields that i have made
and i wonder if you'll come home again
to this creature of habit
that began
when you left
i lament! i lament!
i still sometimes get your letters in the mail
the other day i received one from your grandma in glendale
she wrote a lot but didnt say much
but she sure hopes your happy well
that makes two of us
she mentioned things you said about me
but she doesn’t now
you left home months ago
