I was always used to you
stumbling in and out of the door;
whether it was during sunrise,
or sunset, I was used to you
never sticking around
long enough for me
to give you a proper goodbye.
I always kept the doors unlocked;
you never could find
that spare key. Even though
it was always
in the same place.
So instead of waking up
to the sound of you
mixing up freedom
and consideration,
I just did both of us a favor
and kept the door
unlocked; allowing you to feel
as if I really didn’t mind
that you were out
without me, looking for
something better
than this constant routine
of me guessing if you would
come home tonight.
