Linens

I found myself wondering,

what I had done

to make you stop

could I have conditioned my hair more?

put less sugar into your coffee mug?

eaten more vegetables?

was my bed not warm enough?

each day I eagerly await

for your scent to fade

from my linens,

and for thoughts of you

to waver or disappear

but I can't help thinking

was I not warm enough?

was my bed not warm enough?
