Angel in Her Bedroom
Tripping on thoughts
As the words left your mouth
The sun is gone
She’s all alone

Clenching her teeth
A warm stagnant breath
She’s making a fist
Falls straight into bed

Eyes slamming closed
A wave of fresh tears
The salt in your mouth
Taste of your fears

Flailing of limbs
The sheets on the floor
Fades into black
Morning has come

Red of the sky
Stains on dull gray
Taillights pass
Her hands on the phone

Eyes chasing lines
Through rooms of the past
No stopping this time
You can’t make it last

Clenching her teeth
A warm stagnant breath

I just want to sleep for days
I just want to crawl away unscathed
