in the dark with your body pressed against mine, you ask me questions because you want to know my mind want to know me and not just the face you see you ask me things like what is your favorite color, food, embarrassing memory, etc. etc. etc. all pretty tame questions ever break anything? you say and i assume you mean bones so i tell you about breaking my wrist, the snapped radius and the misplaced ulna but you stop me no, like, broken something. you know? something like someone’s heart? and i think no nothing like that because i’m not sure if anyone else has ever loved me enough to be sad i left but i don’t say that instead i tell you about smashing plates against the wall for fun and when i’m done you’re fast asleep.
