Crying For The 12th Day In A Row

Your cat starts to look at you funny
The dishes pile up
You forget how to shower before leaving the apartment
There's a three inch long cockroach on your bathroom floor
At least he's still kicking
Your fridge is empty along with your bank account
From all the take out you've ordered in
The living room is rearranged just to have controlled change
So what if you hit your head on the kitchen counter when you sit on the couch?
At least you can explain how it got there
Your best friend is not your best friend
Yet he's still in the middle of this
And above your bed
The one you're not sleeping in because
All your bedding is in the living room
(But not on the mattress up against the wall)
From falling asleep to the glow of other people's lives
You write less & more sloppy
Getting the mail makes you cry
So do last names written in ink on a sticker that you can't peel off
There's still an empty bottle of beer in the shower
But your razor is missing
So your legs are hairy
Maybe that's why you're alone
And that's why you're crying for the 12th day in a row
