Did you convince yourself
it was just a booty call
or
did you feel
the walls creak to life
at seeing the left side of the bed warm
did you see my insides glow
when your lips
battered with heartbreak
brushed my forehead
did you hear the lonely air
whispering desperate pleads
for you to stay
or
was I just a vessel
a convenient harbour
for your resentment
