constant reminder

you've closed your window
I can only assume
that's because
you no longer have someone to keep you warm at night
when you let that all go
why did you decide to appear again?
I'm keeping tabs on places I should avoid
in hopes of avoiding your constant reminder that
I wasn't good enough

he's opened his door
I can't imagine why his lights are on at such an hour
with his weary bones and early mornings
I'm waiting to be invited in
so that he can appear again
in full force
smoke rising from our lips
we're constant reminders that
mistakes happen

my eyes are far from closing
with my comforter comfortably empty
I'm spending tonight with the revolutionaries
and the sleep deprived
where has all the time gone?
their voices have muted
and my typing continues
as a constant reminder
that this is all but over
