that tightness in your chest you could never explain. what good are leftover words for anything other than a small semblance of hope hiding behind pleasant phonetics? natural shades still stain the replacement pillow cases as you small-talk your way out the door in between every fleeted step.

"we were young and nothing was simple"
that tightness in your chest you could never explain. what good are leftover words for anything other than a small semblance of hope hiding behind pleasant phonetics? natural shades still stain the replacement pillow cases as you small-talk your way out the door in between every fleeted step.
