why not all mornings are the same.

11:40 AM

I woke up

with sugar fermenting on my tongue,

and a letter from you in my hand.

I woke up

with questions & answers that don't match

and ideas that don't belong.

I woke up

with runs carved through my mind,

and trembling hands.

I woke up

with one name on my lips

and another hovering in my thoughts.

I woke up

and looked for the stars

between cold sheets.

I woke up

with unwilling eyes

and clouded thoughts.

but

I woke up

a little more

than I did yesterday.
