I begged her to stick around
For more sunsets transcending into morning regret
Yeah I lost the bet
I couldn’t keep it together when it mattered the most
My hands are shaking and my memory has become dull
Since you left i’ve been spending my nights at Old Man Dugan’s
Talking to the bar fly’s that frequent there
Mickey the barkeep knows somethings up
He’s had to call me a cab every night this week
Last night I gave the cabbie an address around the block from my apartment
I jumped out and hopped three fences
The second one I started to vomit chunks of chips and salsa mixed in with bottom shelf whiskey
I got to my front door only to realize I must’ve dropped the keys during the scurry
I laid across the welcome mat you bought last spring
The one with the faded flowers from all the foot traffic
I look up at the stars and remember a medium telling me once I was from Arcturus
Man I wish they’d beam me up right about now
I drifted off into sleep
Beautiful!
