You just left
Left the door open for a cat to enter
Left a light on leading me to water
You just left
Left your jacket on the chair
Left my sheets muddled like mint and lime
Left a scent of farmers market on my pillow
Left me sighing
Left me wondering when you’ll come back
Left me wondering what I did to deserve this
You just left
Left your palm print on the mirror
Left a purple mark blooming on my skin
Left your god singing to my ancestors in the kitchen
You just left
Left me a little unhinged
Left me with a story
Left a tropical storm
still churning the ocean
You just left
Left me shaking
Left me gulping midnight
Left me clutching gratitude
You left me warm and wasted on crumpled white cotton.
Wondering what I did to deserve this.
