Incandescent
September 5, 2016
It's 3am
Writing in the dark
Struggling to find the words to fill the page
Cat asleep in my lap
Music to set the mood
Dog at my feet
And my mind drifts off to you
Something about this night isn't right
Checking my phone, can't figure out what I'm looking for
Something, anything
My last cigarette hanging off my lips
Empty glass of wine staining the page red
Between you and me
I'm spiraling
Write it down, write it down, write it down
Blank mind, Blank thoughts, blank heart
Clean slate
But nobody told me clean slate meant empty
