The pain rings
In me head
As you string
Me along
To bed

Their heartbeat
Against mine
In time
I hope I find
That this is where I’m meant to be
With them against me

Nothing in my brain
Just an empty head
Nothing in my heart
Just a hollow chest
Nothing in my eyes
Just a blank mess
Nothing is there
But stress

I heard our song on the radio today
I remembered how you used to sing it
With no rhythm and zero accuracy
And how I said I didn’t want to join you
But in actuality I wanted to every time
I still do
I still want to join you
