Sober Thoughts

I haven't made enough effort to shift to the middle of the bed
Haven't stopped thinking about my missing rock
A name still comes to mind when my alarm goes off
Still stare at the electric toothbrush for an extra second before picking it up
And wonder as I am brushing my teeth what the salty toothpaste really does for me

I have been going out each and every day
Making my schedule as jam-packed as I could
I stopped crying, thinking and ... the occasional smoke
Allowed myself to embrace new beginnings
And be patient with myself, awaiting all the lovely things that will happen to me

Note: 3am, back from a night out with zero alcohol - been coughing like crazy and on antibiotics and painkillers. Totally sober thoughts.
