<\/span>My sternum pains and weakens<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Breath does not come as easy now<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>The number on the clock rises,<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Then resets like it did the day before<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>I go about my night,<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>But check the window every now and then<\/span>
<\/span>Patiently waiting for the marks to be refilled with rubber<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>And headlights to seep through the small crevices in my blinds<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>It\u2019s not the second time either<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>A familiar tune sings to me and it sounds like your voice<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>I can\u2019t tell if this embrace is blithe or if it is ominous<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>My mind is often teased by the two<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>Is it you?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>The\u00a0<\/span>good\u00a0<\/span><\/i>you?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>I will know once the front door swings open<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
