if you leave, i will cry
the whole house sleeps
i do not
heavy eyes and rumbling stomach
morning reaching in through cracks
all i can think about is spending money
i would cry if u left without a kiss-goodbye now i know you are not my parent
i lay thinking of chips and beans with extra beans, tea with milk and a tiny sugar
heard the door open and close without a second thought, i didn't go into work that day
the whole house empty
i sleep
i, empty
