"I Waited Too Long", she says

It's a room like any other room but it's smaller and colder than you last remember

"Tell me to leave" she says, "Or say that you won't."

One day you wake to see
the cracks
in the ceiling
that were always there even if you closed your eyes

"Tell me to leave", she says

She filled them with 2:00 p.m rises out of bed

On the first date he was on time

"Tell me to leave", she says. "You left long ago."
