You told me
"You could do better."
But all I could think of was
"Why would I?"

We don't love us anymore
All our screaming fits are over
I watched you cry til you were sober
And that's exactly what we are
Sober and over

Everyone said it wasn't easy
But the truth is, the lies were very cozy
And your fake smiles made me feel less lonely
But the truth is bound to die
I'm just alone

Without*
  within
  hardly in consonance
  never twin

It's the emptying
that invites the filling

there is no poetry inside me
my veins have been bled dry
my heart once soaked is empty
without poetry i might die
