I used to sleep in the dreadful bare silence
I used to learn my words before I spoke them
I used to study your eyes like the map of your world
so i could melt into your world
like butter
You used to tell me it would be okay in the morning
and I would change my mind
You used to wait for me to kick and scream into the void until my fire put out and I sighed
A sigh of relief, i sighed because you were there
brushing my hair, and twirling my feet
until my life was complete
