I throw my bag down
And creep into the dark like a ghost
Flipping the light switch
To bring some cheer
Into this dreary den
I've learnt to call home
Early morning
When the world is just waking up
I return from work
And make myself coffee
Alone
With the tinkering pots and pans
I talk to my phone
While nibbling breakfast
Not daring to look around
At the house
Threatening to swallow me
Whole
Dark
Cold
Lifeless
Bland white walls
The cold floods in through the gaps
In the unopened windows
And the bed seems a good option
Shivering I take shelter
Inside the quilt
And keep talking yo my phone
Alone
With my tears
And my dreams
Akd determinations
Alone
The darkness still comes
To swallow me
And I close my wet eyelids
And sleep
All day
Afternoon
Evening
Night
