I woke up today 

after hitting snooze once every five minutes

for an hour and a half. 

It was raining outside. 

The sky was gray.

I worked on a paper. 

Walked to school.

Jeans, Sperry's, a big baggy t-shirt, and zip up hoodie.

 Struggled through math

trying to visualize multi-dimensional eigenvectors

not succeeding.

and all the while, 

my roommate's music is playing in my head. 

The perfect post-breakup movie music.

You know in movies, 

after some big breakup happens

or an adventure ends

and everyone goes their separate ways

back to their normal lives;

When they try to go back to life without that person.

And that sad, mellow, music plays 

as you watch the video montage.

You see their sadness and just want to scream at the television

"you're both miserable, just go get her!"

But of course it just keeps going on

That's how my day has felt today. 

Sad

Unfeeling

Swallowed by that perfect, mellow, post-breakup movie music.
