“We’re at the same party
but we didn’t come here together.
I can see the both of you
in the corner of my eye
and I’m wondering if you brought her
here to show me for yourself
that you really have moved on.
I’ll admit that she’s beautiful
but knowing you it won’t last until
the morning. You’ll go home
together and she’ll sleep on my side
of the bed because she’s had
too much to drink and you need
someone to fill in not only the spaces
of your heart but the spaces
in your home. I know you’ve never been
one for being alone but soon
you’ll see that if you’re not with the one
you really want, loneliness will
find its way in those empty rooms
of your vacant heart
that you thought you could substitute
with someone who came close
to making you feel the way
I once used to when your home
was once ours.”
- "When I moved out of our home, you moved out of my heart," - Colleen Brown
