i am alone.
i watch the stars move through the sky
on a field empty of even insects
i am in my house
eating dinner at a table for two
i have petals on my bed
i wake up alone
not because you left me
but because i couldn't save you
i saw everything
i saw who you were
i saw that you needed me
but when they asked me
if i knew you
if i could identify you
i said no
because i knew i never deserved you
the way you deserved me.
