Are You Lonesome?

Do you miss me?


The nights we used to lay together

The way I used to rub your stomach until you went to sleep

How I would ease out

The bed

Not to be sneaky but to give you more time to rest

How I would have dinner

Waiting for you

After you came home from doing God knows what

House cleaned

Bath water ran

Are you Lonesome?



The way I would

Whisk you out of the tub

Like you were a child

Dry you off

Lotion your body

And console you

On your long day at work

Are You Lonesome?



How about

The way I would let you use me

As your punching bag

Puppet

Fool

Whatever you felt like during our “relationship”

Are You Lonesome?



The way you acted

Using me as a circus monkey

Wanting me to jump through hoops for you

When I did more than I should

Foolish of me

But I walked away with my head held high

You Deserve To Be Lonesome
