mass destruction of lonely girl's life

she trips over the morning as it invites itself in
like every other morning it curls its way 
through her unlocked wooden door and
finds its way into her sleeping curls
her tightly pursed lips stressed by the nighttime cold

and like every other morning she dreams she's awake
thinks about reaching for her phone
dreams that she does
ignoring the morning's sun-tinted breath 
wafting through her frightened, hiding mind

today kisses her awake with a yell from downstairs
reminding her the clock isn't waiting, neither will he
Out pops her mess of hair from the shadow on her pillow
and into the sunlit hall she emerges
bravely stepping, though half-asleep, into the newness of day

did anyone message her while she slept? oh great
the toilet seat's left down again. did she check or did she dream?
there goes the alarm, left on again. I guess not
My braces taste of last night's toothpaste.. Nobody cares
I was hoping to get a reply. Hooray there's a book here to read

silence.
maybe God.
fall asleep hoping.
