Love me

The doorbell rings,
I race to answer,
leaving all the books
strewn across my floor,
LOVE ME
hi, I greet you,
water in hand
LOVE ME
you take it and drink
Why couldn't I come sooner?
LOVE ME
I turned your geyser on
LOVE ME
Not enough lemon
in this water, too much salt
I'm sorry I fucked up again
LOVE ME
You walk away and sit
on the sofa with your water
staring at the screen in your hand
LOVE ME
How was your walk
LOVE ME
It was fine
but is that all I know how to ask
LOVE ME
I'm sorry
You leave for your shower
LOVE ME
Is this all I know to do
I sit back down with
the only love that's never left,
alone in their eyes.
