Wake up
It's morning here in the south.
Baby, are you awake yet?
I need to go out to pick some potatoes, but I promise I'll be back for lunch.
It's mid-afternoon, would you like a coffee and some cookies?
I know I've been working hard, I'm sorry.
I miss snuggling with you.
Honey, are you in the shower?
It's night, I think I'll get some blankets
Maybe some melatonin pills too
Do you still remember my favorite tea?
My dear, where are you?
It's morning again
My hair is a mess and my clothes haven't been washed.
At what point did I become so sloppy?
Darling, why don't you say anything?
Other afternoons, other nights, other mornings, other beds.
And I keep wondering where did you go.
You didn't leave me a note, a text, or a wave.
Did you even remember me?
I'm planting potatoes again.
I harvested them all weeks ago, they rotted.
I don't know why I keep trying to grow this shit, I'm not even a fucking farmer
But you loved those stupid potatoes.
When you wake up, can you let me know?
I'll put the water on to boil and make your coffee.
When you wake up, could you call me?
I'm gonna put on makeup to hide the dark circles under my eyes.
Baby, why don't you wake up?
You're starting to scare me.
My dad said I look horrible, and I said I don't have anyone else to brush my hair.
Baby, I want to sleep with you.
Could you take me back?
I know I'm a selfish, depressed idiot.
But how could I not be? WHY HAVEN’T YOU WOKE UP YET??
LOVE, I'M ALONE, I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE, I'M SCARED!
THE VOICES ARE GETTING LOUDER
MY COLLAR IS TIGHTENING ME
IS IT ME OR IS IT GETTING HOT IN HERE?
YOU FUCKING IDIOT, OPEN THOSE EYES, PLEASE!
I'M FALLING DOWN WITHOUT YOU!
WHY DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT I LOVE YOU?
I NEED YOU
