Being There, And Not

I woke up this morning
with a headache
a love hangover
from listening to you the night before
talk about how you hate life,
how you prefer death
having no idea what it means

don’t you understand?
I don’t want to be in a world without you
in it?

Worrying past 3AM
Debating if I should
get in my car
Fuck the etiquette of breaking up
and come see you

Instead, I prayed, slept and
dreamed of us
together

And awoke without you.
