05 | My Absent Mind
Alex Turner on the radio
and he sang that line
that you always hummed in my ear
"it's getting harder and harder to get you to listen"
lyrics hanging in the air like a silent plea
rolling off your tongue like a prayer
why did i not listen?
you tried to tell me.
i'm a goddamn fool
my thoughts are darker than my five o'clock shadow
and the purple bags under my eyes
Alex Turner on the radio
and he sang the line that reminds me of you
that i can't get out of my head
it lingers at three AM
when i reach for your side of the bed
absent-mindedly
because you haunt me like a fucking apparition.

So, I thought I'd do something different and write from the point of view of a guy. Actually, this is a snippet from the mind of a character (he likes to jot down stuff like this for a girl who will never read it) I'm developing for a book I'm working on.
