Dorm Room - Gabe Bondoc

There’s the chair

That sat next to the wall

That I leaned on

In the heat of it all

I said a few things

As I stared at the lamp

Oh, the bulb was burnt out

And all the spares were out

I can still feel

the way the wall paper peeled

I tore a piece of it off

and I let it fall to the floor

With a tear

you wet the room

It was white

like the snow in the globe on your dresser

I think I left a piece of my heart

in your dresser

in case you wanna start over

I think I left a piece of my heart

In your dresser

In case you wanna start over

I think I left a piece of my heart

In your dresser

In case you wanna start over

I think I left a piece of my heart

In your dresser

In the dresser

That’s the spot

Where you said what you said

with your hand on your foot

sitting at the foot of the bed

They were strong words

Strong like the wood of the door frame

Chipped from the day that you moved in

I could hear you

It’s just the light from the window

Distractingly casted

A peculiar shadow

A tear

You wet the room, it was white

Like the snow in the globe on your dresser

I think I left a piece of my heart

in your dresser

in case you wanna start over

I think I left a piece of my heart

In your dresser

In case you wanna start over

I think I left a piece of my heart

In your dresser

In case you wanna start over

I think I left a piece of my heart

In your dresser

In the dresser

In the room where it all began

It’s only fitting that it has to end

In the room where it all began

It’s only fitting this is where it ends

I think I left a piece of my heart

in your dresser

in case you wanna start over

I think I left a piece of my heart

In your dresser…
