Cotton Sheets

Cotton sheets Warmed by the dryer Perfectly tucked into the corner Soft and white Like freshly fallen snow Never in my life have I felt so cold and alone Half drunk tea A sink full of dishes Mocking me, saying what a mess she is Starry night Trapped in a Van Gogh Never in my life have I felt so cold and alone Remember the summers down in Bloomington Watching the sunset over the lake Well, looking back, it makes me laugh And it makes me wanna cry 'Cause I felt so goddamned alive But now it's New Years Day I'm staring at my dying plants Thinking well, maybe we both have a chance But I'm not Making lofty goals Just learning to love myself even when I'm cold and alone
