We lock eyes. Thats how it starts. With a look. You can see through me and there's nothing there, There is no hurt to cascade my shoulders and no Pain in my voice. It is sweet. It is light, I invite you in. Thats how it starts. With a touch. You can move through me and there's nothing there, There is no anger to wash over me and no Wince when your hand meets my skin. It is calm. It is calculated. I let you in. And that's how it always starts, right? When the other shoe drops. And it hits the ground with a thump like our bodies on the bed. But it's not Over yet darling, the lights are still on And there's still blood on the sheets. Can you help me clean Up this mess? Can you help me fix this? We lock eyes and it feels like a reminder, like ive been waiting for you The other shoe drops and I'm on my hands and knees Scrubbing my old memories clean for you. You deserve better than this, you deserve that much. You deserve someone who is sweet. light. calm. calculated. You open your mouth and say my name and it sounds like "come home"
