and the beats between your breaths on the telephone
as you fall asleep
and the way you treat me
the next morning as if i didn't sing the lullaby at your request
and the silence
that stretches between us until you need comfort
and how i can't ask for anything
because i hurt you, once
and how i can't talk about how you're the one that ended it
