Bolw With Milk
Luke Lotus
I'm just a bowl with milk on the table
Waiting for someone who's never been stable
You left a spoon but not a note
And I'm curdling inside, trying to float
You used to sip me in the morning light
Now I sour alone every single night
I'm just a bowl with milk, forgotten and still
Used to be comfort, now I just spill
You ran in circles, chasing ghosts
Left fingerprints on all I host
Crumbs of promises on the floor
You slammed the door, then came back for more
Microwave love, lukewarm again
You stirred me slow then spilled the end
And I wait
Like dishes in the sink
All I do
Is crack and overthink
I'm just a bowl with milk on the table
Waiting for someone who's never been stable
You left a spoon but not a note
And I'm curdling inside, trying to float
You used to sip me in the morning light
Now I sour alone every single night
I'm just a bowl with milk, forgotten and still
Used to be comfort, now I just spill
The fridge hums like a lullaby
But even cold things say goodbye
You drank my warmth, you took my fill
Now I'm just a bowl
A bowl with milk
You fed your silence with my voice
As if I ever had a choice
You liked me best when I was sweet
But left me out in summer heat
I cracked for you, I tried to stay
But dairy dreams don't last the day
And I wait
Like leftovers untouched
All I am
Is never enough
I'm just a bowl with milk on the table
Waiting for someone who's never been stable
You left a spoon but not a note
And I'm curdling inside, trying to float
You used to sip me in the morning light
Now I sour alone every single night
I'm just a bowl with milk, forgotten and still
Used to be comfort, now I just spill
The fridge hums like a lullaby
But even cold things say goodbye
You drank my warmth, you took my fill
Now I'm just a bowl
A bowl with milk
Pour me out
Wash me clean
But you'll never taste
What we used to mean
