I don’t want to watch you
curled up on the ground
trying to figure out
what to do with what you’re left
I can’t stand to watch you
go through this again
another women at the end
of each day
keeping you awake
not ‘cause she’s beside you
just because she used to
fill that space

there’s just too many beds
for one person to sleep in
and rest well
can’t find that set of arms
that keep your body warm
keeps your mind at ease
fights off those bad dreams
can’t rustle under covers
without scaring her away
she’s a coward
but you’re scared she’ll leave

I don’t want to have to
watch you fall apart
because of some dumb woman
not again
