Morning routine.
Today I awoke in my bed
and the sun
was shining ever so gently
into my room
broken by the shutters
the light danced across my face
the warm beams
touched my lips
and I smiled without teeth
I recalled those times
we awoke together
and how I didn’t think I could
ever be happier
than I was in that moment
who knew that
time could change so much
so much
I got out of bed
opened the shutters all the way
felt the breeze
on my cheeks
daylight shines so bright
secrets can’t hide
here.
anywhere.
and I smiled without teeth
Today is a fresh start
that is all I need
to think
I think
and I smiled
with teeth
