I Tried

i tried to fluff you 
so i could fold you
you lay there all day
cold


i meant to pay attention
know when you were ready
warmth against my 
fingers


but
you lay there 
cold


you did wait all day...my fault
i could hear the accusation
in your silence


your buzzer went off 
but
i was 
not 
home


i forgot you easily


hours passed
opportunity lost
you are
wrinkled and old
cold


damn laundry
