here minus you equals nowhere
when it ended I was on my own
knocking around by myself
in a basement apartment
I enjoyed it
loud or quiet as I wanted
cooking for myself
being alone
or not being alone
it’s been that way ever since
until you
with no warning
upset my apple cart
sent me reeling
now I sit alone
in my suddenly
too-quiet apartment
wondering when you’ll come back
hoping it will be soon
and that you’ll stay
for a long, long time
