You are just a soft person,
Trying to fit your fragile bones
into a hardened mold
Last time you pulled away from me,
You told me three hours later that she
Whispered in your ear again,
"I don't know where my tempers gone,"
You said
And I understood
The way,
You used to bite your tongue until it bled
Just to stop your voice from boiling
Over your lips like hot lava,
Erupting loudly,
and burning the earth
As soon as they collide
Now you just look into her eyes
With such a silent apathy,
She could hear the pins dropping
In your mind
Last time I held you,
I could almost taste her name
In your shakey breath
You swore it didn't live there
Anymore
You swore you didn't live there
Anymore
I wanna believe that's true,
But I think you'd still
rather homelessness
Over shelter between
Any arms that you've never been
Homesick for
And I'm
Just not there
