Three Days

This was getting scary,
and I was finding residue from things I had been told to steer clear of,
and we were sweethearts,
you and I,
until you grew tired of novelty,
and I just disliked everything about where it was going,
all of this,
so I thought it best to head home,
and shut the door,
doors,
and put towels first for the light,
then the smoke,
then for insulation,

but it was scary,
very, very scary
