Title: Day One Writer: Stephanie

I hear the tv, I forgot to turn it off I turn back around and hold the sweatshirt you must have forgot I get up and take a look in the mirror I wash my face and think of conditioning my hair Put my slippers on just to brush my teeh You always hated when I walked around with bare feet My time keeps ticking by My watch must be slow I keep thinking you hope I'm alright I wish I had strength to get from the floor Go to the closet to look for a shirt It's 12:15 and you'd be on your lunch break from work Outside the sun is bright I like Ultra-violet rays think about a cigarette but you hate the way they taste

The sky went black hours ago And if you were here you'd be safely at home I clean up the kitchen and wash out the sink I stare at the phone half-expecting to ring Tonight I'll turn in early No use in stayling up late Damn my bed is going to be lonely what will I do with all that space?
