*Maybe I lied. * 
 
 *Maybe I loved him. * 
 
 *Maybe there was nothing left to say, * 
 
 *As the world turned askew. * 
 
 *There is nothing left to do. * 
 
 *There is nothing to say. * 
 
 *How can I tell him I fucked up? * 
 
 *That I did n't mean to go? * 
 
 *I just want him back. * 
 
 *I need him to call, * 
 
 *to come home. * 
 
 *Anything. Something. Please. * 
 
 I left the pillow wet that night, 
 
 From swimming in my clothes, 
 
 Refusing to shower, 
 
 Sitting in my room, waiting for forever, 
 
 To end, soon. 
 
 I thought about life, love, him. 
 
 How I would go back and do it all again. 
 
 I would let him take my heart this time. 
 
 I would. I could. But not anymore. 
 
 There is only the silence of the apartment, 
 
 And Mr. Magoo. 
 
 The cat is looking at me, yellow and sage, 
 
 He hisses when I reach for the phone. 
 
 He is laying on my Nokia, 
 
 His fat limbs curled tight. 
 
 He stays like that most of the night. 
 
 Until I fall into a restless sleep. 
 
 Then he leaves, to eat his dinner, 
 
 To make sure I am still breathing, 
 
 Still alive in my skin, 
 
 When I wake up, we start again.
