The quietness in the morning is all I need;
your clicking away, body slanted slightly towards the front of your seat.
Brief “good morning”s and some strong coffee –
to make up for a horrible night’s sleep.
White walls, and blue doors;
Familiar (or not so) faces and grey halls.
Early morning ambience disturbed only by
the rattling of your keyboards.
There are a lot of things I wouldn’t say;
that’s how this place works –
a smile to the face but thundering
keyboard wars and incessant complaints.
Yet, something calls for me to stay;
a truth I’ve been wanting to hide from all the way –
no internet connection and my phone separated by numerous hallways, but I
feel your warmth and I want this pain to slowly eat me away.
