5 am

you didn’t think i’d notice and that was stupid of you 

as were plenty of other things

crying and crying and it was good

(there goes dane’s alarm)

bluish love and sadness

bloodshot and a glass of water

a tissue that you “don’t need” 

quite a mess you’ve - we’ve - made

your cheeks are wet at the thought of “hurting me” but 

it’s usually the other way around

must be up at 9 am.

to bed with the birds, now.
