when two remain silent,
our breath becomes louder than
the missing words
- we aren't afraid of the quiet, we are afraid of what lurks inside it

unzip my thoughts
leave me bare
never allowing tainted words to escape me
pulling words from your lips
that will never reach me

with the footsteps of 100 heartbeats
you claw out my heart
with gentle fingers
- i know you cheated on me

pillows are just sponges for the choppy waters on my face

i needed to be closer
but the clothes between our beings forbid us

ignoring who i am is almost worst than hating who i am

i laid bare before you, heart slipped on the hardwood floor
you became blind

i screamed vows in your ear, words scattered on the couch
you became deaf

i beggingly shook your shoulders, history spilled on the bed
you became paralyzed

you prayed
i sinned

this was not a choice

please respond
just please
please
...please

i’d rather have you hate me

texts can’t hold my hands
screens can’t press our lips

but for now i'll just have to feel you through the phone
