CHANGE

I wanted to kick you
out of bed.
It was my thought,
my intention as I
sat in solitude.

I prayed, yet feared the sight
of empty rooms, vacant hallways,
kitchens left in emptiness.
I sat and listened
as your breathing rose in full.
I hastened to the deep grass
outside below the moon.
Every  part of my body, my secrets
met your heart; you knew
but never knew.
I was the person of change,
someone you had once known.
But every waking changed my lifestyle,
You removed yourself
and never made a change.

So I sat within the room
as dawn brought wind and
curtains flew and I wondered
what to do.
I wanted to kick you out of bed,
but was afraid.
