While sitting in the dining hall, I got creative with a napkin.

Doesn稚 scare me 

Not as much as the emptiness 

In this crowded room 

With all those secrets. 

I hear Daniel痴 voice, laughing, with her 

She痴 moving in on me 

I知 alone, over here, while she 

Laughs. How dare she. 

Possessive traits absorb me now. 

Anger fills my head 

I知 writing on a napkin 

What the hell 

Have I become? 

I miss the touch of paper 

Between my fingers on the table 

I miss my past lover, his words 

I miss my best friend, his open ear 

I miss Cory, his touch 

I miss the conversations across from me 

At the table 

Now empty and alone 

Vacant chair pushed in. 

Table for one please 

Yes, I知 all alone 

Invitation to join another 

I decline because I知 jealous 

Of her, her bouncy 

Hair, go away. 

Stop staring at me 

I知 a poet writing on a napkin 

Paper, shitty, napkins 

My ½ eaten lunch in front of me 

My best friend behind me 

Past lover to my right 

Empty chair in front of me 

Heavy heart inside 

My surroundings begin to cave 

Quickly now, 

As the clock gets closer to one 

My time to leave 

Back to hell. 

I need to get some paper 

Real paper, to 

Write on 

She probably thinks I知 rude now 

For declining such an offer 

Tell me why I care.... 

Dear Cory, where are you? 

Making sales 

Joking around with your friends 

Thinking of me 

Thinking of you 

Thinking of me. 

Although I am preoccupied 

I miss you baby 

Sitting across from me 

Telling me your secrets 

Invading my soul 

I miss you.
