On Tuesday

The first night, I stayed up shaking.
I could stop myself when I concentrated—
When I got myself to stop thinking about her—
Which took tremendous effort to do—
And I could only manage for a few seconds at a time—
But eventually, I fell asleep.
The second night,
I wrote shitty poems about it;
Which,
Who the hell knows if that even helps anymore?
And I got really high;
Which,
Who the hell knows if that even helps anymore?
Tomorrow, I should make it back to home,
But, for fucksake,
Calling it home now,
Feels wrong.
It feels ugly.
Because,
She’s my home now.
And then on Tuesday I should drink until I fall back asleep.
