Braintree

Breathing the air of home that I have missed
Remembering the night when we first kissed

Am I alone again in Massachusetts?
I am alone, you’ve emptied the closets

“No, this won’t work out. It’s too much for me.
Thanks for everything, but I have to leave Braintree.”

Restless on my bed, I can’t sleep
Every thought is about her, how her words cut so deep

Empty space where she used to be, no longer ‘we’ but just only ‘me’
