I know where that goes but I don’t know where to put it.

You used to be the place
Where I’d unravel all my sins
Now I don’t know where to start
Because I don’t know where you end

Another and another, stripped flat.
The whispering world behind the scenes longing for what they could say of the broken
The names openly spoken and swept from mouth to mouth
More than gravity unknown

It stopped her heart

He would’ve answered

He plucked the brightest star and drowned it.

I should’ve said no
But I stayed

Silence said more than words ever could.

I feel like I’m being ripped apart from the inside
I’ve buried these feelings but they won’t be denied
It started with a burning deep in my lungs
From breaths held waiting
Hiding eyes tear stung
Rationality outran by fear
When it comes to him I can’t see clear
Sleepless nights tossing, turning
In my mind, always yearning
Bring me peace or quick relief

Quiet, give me something that feels true
I am no longer who I was to you
