Couches
October 28, 2015
I sit on the couch
You’re on the couch across the room
There’s a direct line between us and
I peek every so often
Slouching into the couch
Biting my nails and tapping my foot
Anxiously
Because you look
Like if you scooch any closer you’ll
Be inside her
And I want that to be me,
The subject of this grand affection
But instead I am
Delusional
Because if it hasn’t been me
For the past three years
It’s not going to be me tonight
