I shouldn't have been there Looking in your dresses I was only curious It hit me hard in the living room As your cat rubbed up against my leg The Matrix still in the DVD player That I care about you Perhaps too much So I moved to the green couch I sat down and tried to lean back Like I used to do And when I fell your arms were not there Your heartbeat did not sound in my ear And with the bunny hopping And the cats purring I had the most empty feeling I have ever had
Reason for writing:
House-sitting can bring some horrible feelings to the heart.
Birth sign: Libra
