Everyone used to ask me
what we are
and i always, always
replied with "i don't know"
"i don't know what we are"
but behind this wall
behind the shelter that i put up
because i did not want them to find out
about you
about me
about us
behind it
i always knew
that we were everything

Now when they ask me
what we are
my knees get weak
my body starts to ache
my words suffocate me
my heart knots
because i know
that we became nothing
nothing
