I never saw before

caught in the light
an angle i haven't seen before
must have always been there
these scuffs upon my floor
i wonder if they're from you
or better yet from us
remember in the kitchen
we would kiss by the sink
i'm still breaking glasses
cause all i do is think
how i hate my pillows
and now i hate our bed
i can't find any rest
when you're somewhere else instead
i can't watch tv
don't want to be on the couch
you even took my houseplants
it's time i'm moving out
and i'll leave the dishes
furniture, clothes, all
let the new people wonder
about those scratches on the wall
they'll tell no stories
about how we lived before
but i hope they never see
the scuffs upon the floor.
