Waiting for nothing
empty habits pulling me closer
If I cannot have you
then when is this over
waiting for the cue
turning the handle
the shower’s warm shoulder
feels like a scandal
I’ll leave when I’m older
every penny I see is tails side up
take off my glasses
now it’s just luck
hungry for the passes
empty plates, no dirty dishes
coming home late
No signs of my kisses
My blue heart misses the red of your fate
My purple plates are some of the best
keeping them safe back in their case
waiting to be blessed
how does it taste?
my starving routine
watching you chew
I now know what it means
I’ve been waiting for you
