You hid the truth somewhere
As if no one would know
You set it on fire
the place inside your head you used to go

have you noticed all the people floating
aimlessly around our heads

and you think that you know
its not your place to go
left it only for show
thoughts like bubbles let go

its raining something other than acid
that pools around my body like glasses of
warm red wine
you stagger to the kitchen sink
cover reflections that peek from the faucet
just bittersweet

you screamed at yourself yesterday
when you thought it was someone else
crawling inside your ears
and the lights went out

insulted by all the expressions and
shadows
left around

you’d think after all this time that we
spent
laughing and mourning, you’d sort of have
it figured out
but you left me standing behind the
curtains
calling for someone I thought I knew but it
was only you
