I still drink coffee most mornings.
That used to be our thing though.
I remember the first cup without you.
I stopped needing sugar with my cream.
There’s sunlight coming through the curtains I picked out and
The gold flecks of dust in the air flit with newborn bravery.
I can do anything I want now!
Oh shit, what do I do?
Nobody’s here to yell at them.
Or twist my words 'round, caressing my hair.
No more secret meetings between you.
No more planning my escape.
I’m free and I can breathe now and it’s
My first ordinary day.
I know life’s changing now,
and true, things may get hard
But I just unwrapped my new blankets
They don’t have your scent
I bought them weeks ago, and waited
This coffee and blanket are everything.
Nobody’s coming to save me.
I’m thrilled at the adventure.
I think I’m gonna fix some bacon.
I’ve got work in about 2 hours.
I think I’ll try that new shampoo I got
When I was hiding from you and paying bills.
And I’m gonna wash my face with the promises
I’ve made myself for twenty years.
