in the long watches of the night

cutting paper into thin strips

bored out of my mind
you're sleeping 
far away in some fancy hotel
 
I wish we didn't have that fight
I wish you would have kissed me goodbye
I wish I wasn't such a coward
because then I'd call you right now
and tell you I'm sorry
and tell you we should give it another try
and you'd tell me everything's going to be alright
 
filling out a crossword
the words come out all wrong
it makes no sense 
and the streetlight shining through my window does nothing 
 
I light a candle 
I make some tea
I wish sleep would come find me 
but the only sand I find in my bed
is from the beach 
and it's scratching my feet 
making me toss and turn
and you're not here to tell me to be still
 
I wrote you a letter
found a stamp and everything
but I'm not going to send it
because you told me not to
I won't call you either
I'll just shut up now
 
dawn is not far away
or am I only fooling myself
cut some more paper into thin strips
glue them together with dried tears
it's a sculpture of what was
a big fucking mess
