Go Ahead and Ask Me

"Every Night"

"And every single day,
the sun will rise,
the moon will fade..."

Every night that I work.

Every night that I work.

Each time, I come home, it's early. 3am or later.

I quietly come in. I take off my shoes. I go into the bathroom. I take out my contacts. I brush my teeth. I take my hair down, (did I mention that my hair is about chin length now?), I put on my PJs, I put my uniform in my cupboard in the sink.

I come into my room and am almost silent. I use my cellphone as a light. I take off my glasses. I step on my stool, and try to crawl quietly into bed.

But I have the top bunk. It wasn't my choice. I didn't live here all summer. The other occupant of this room did.

So if the bed creaking wakes her up, what can I do? Quit my job? I'd still go to bed late.

So will you please tell me why she says nothing when I talk to her? Why we end up silently avoiding each other if we have to exist in the same room? Why she even bothers to pretend like she has any good feelings for me.

So ya hate me. I can tell by your stinking body language.

This year is not going so great.

Room changes are now possible... If I were to change, it wouldn't be because of the other two girls. Just the one I share with.

But would I end up with worse then what I've already got?

you know... that girl... what was her name?
