I STAY AT HOME

I stay at home
long after my roommates have left for work,
and I'm supposed to be at work, too.

And I hold myself inside my arms
and I sway, and I wish that I was okay.
And I listen to love songs and I listen to breakup songs,
and I wish that you were here,
instead of the rain upon the window,
inside my heart.
