I was awake then.
Nothing told me I was awake but the scent
of unsent letters beside your coffee cup
yesterday morning,
or was it yesteryear?
I can't remember anything
but the smell of ink and paper
fighting for dominance
under the taint of coffee,
and the creaking sound of the chair under your weight.
I haven't written anything in the longest time.
I've been super busy with school and I broke up with my boyfriend last month, so I've been pretty physically and emotionally drained recently.

I love all of the plays on words in this piece..."scent of unsent" and "yesterday...yesteryear"....

This piece reminds me of the emotions (not the words) encapsulated within this song...heartbreak at its worst.
