She left me here with breakfast in bed

Oatmeal with sugar and a hard-boiled egg

 The note on the dresser said I'll be back by three

 I'm going uptown, did you need anything?

 And don't forget to comb your hair

 I'll be back by three, I hope you're still there

 Now the kitchen is empty and the dishwater's cold

 The newspaper on the table is three days old

 I've read every book on the living room shelf

 I'm losing my mind in this goddamn house
