___________
clean up after yourself.
___________she didnt come often at first.
it was rare,
and on some occasions,
i was engulfed
with appreciation for
the privilege.
when she did come,
she touched things,
disorganized some other things.
i noticed
the messes she leftshe or i
never really got around
to cleaning them.all within my possession.
all in my hands.
she started visiting more often,
leaving the warm love of her affection
some touches were careless
or not so thoughtful.
i still was appreciative of it all.
she knew.
im not sure if she cared, but she stopped visiting.
i was hurt a little.
but i understood.
i noticed the messes she had left,she or i
never got around
to cleaning them.and i stayed messy.
just like that.
