What Were You Doing In The Dark

What Were You Doing In The Dark

A Poem by lana elizabeth
"

Do you know those phrases you say that when you say them you think "this would have sounded better written down"?

"

what were you doing in the dark?

looking for love signs and blowing the steam from

the tea too hot to drink.

what were you doing in the dark?

tapping out the last smoke and desperately wishing to 

have saved it just a while longer.

what were you doing in the dark?

groping for a limb to steady

in the vodka induced spinning room, sweat soaked sheets.

what were you doing in the dark?

 packing a bowl 

and sending another text…. you up? 3:14am

what were you doing in the dark?

and do you think you could turn on a light?
