Opening The Cupboard

It’s been three days.

My head’s in a haze.

I miss your face.


Nobody to hold.

You left me alone.

You’ll never grow old.


I wish I was you.

But it’ll never be true.

I’ll always be blue.


I need to eat.

Put shoes on my feet.

Get back to the beat.


I wish I felt heard.

One thing I’ve learned,

just open the cupboard.
