Almost Two Weeks

Friday, June 16, 2017

Just like yesterday, and the day before, today I get back home after an exhausting day.

Strangely, I feel more exhausted than I have ever been,

But then I realize, it is almost two weeks I have been like this.

Just like I used to do, I pick up my key and open up the lock of the front door.

And then I enter my bedroom, our bedroom, and throw my body onto the bed.

Strangely, I feel the house is emptier, and so is my heart,

But then I realize, it is almost two weeks I have felt like this.

I get up and go to the kitchen, just to find that there is nothing to eat, as usual.

I go back to the bedroom to ask you out for dinner,

But then I realize, it is almost two weeks I have had dinner alone.

I choose to forget about dinner and change my clothes.

And then I climb onto the bed, trying to have some sleep.

I turn my body, searching for your arms to hold me until I fall asleep,

But then I realize, it is almost two weeks I have slept alone.
