Light Sings Warning

The light sings warning like a canary, turns sepia before I find the energy to get out of bed, and then it's gone completely. I felt it coming all day. Felt it this morning when I woke at 7 o'clock and couldn't wait for him to leave. Felt it when I could barely finish half of a goddamn turkey sandwich. Felt it when I just stared into the dark of my cave, coveting my precious, wondering when I became all the men I've dated for the last 5 years. Sometimes it feels very hard to step out of that front door, but I know I will be the better for it every time I do.
