Sky Blue Bed Sheets (8 out of 10)

I left my heart on sky blue bed sheets

where I had written our beginning

middle

and end

I had plans

I was petal open

just waiting for your cue

and I got nothing

but

coldness in return

she said

don't expect anything

from someone who promised

you nothing

I bruised my own ego

with kisses shared

on sky blue bed sheets

placing promises

where they ought not be

but I was just a girl

thirsty for

reciprocation

thought

i had found something in you

in actuality

you were

just another guy

a keeper of my heart

in the folds of

sky blue bed sheets

is the girl I once knew
