long blonde hairs

its been over a week now
more than seven days
ten thousand, three hundred twenty-seven minutes have slipped away
i rearranged my furniture
threw my trash away
i vacuumed once, vacuumed twice
almost everyday

but the long, blonde hairs, on the bathroom floor
on the pillowcases, and behind the doors
in my hairbrush, clogging up the sink
or in my office where I try to think
the long, blonde hairs remind me of you

i deleted the emails, filed the pictures away
gave back the remnants and trinkets and trifles the other day
i got rid of all the fancy foods
changed my CD's to a better mood
but all I wanna do now is sit here and brood,
sing sad songs and play

but the long, blonde hairs on the bathroom floor
on the pillowcases and behind the doors
in my hairbrush, clogging up the sink
or in my office where I try to think
the long, blonde hairs remind me of you

i'd dye my hair some crazy colors
so I don't have to find the blonde on the floor
it's not like I care about it
because I don't really much think about it anymore

except when find
the long, blonde hairs...
