There’s nothing there anymore
Empty space
A neck without a head
I remember how you taught me to tie my tongue
Or maybe I taught myself
Doesn’t matter
I just wanted to fill the space
So we made nooses on our deathbed
I caught your breath and framed it
‘Holly blooming’
Before asphyxiating
Never did pick up my head from your apartment
You’ve probably moved away
Shifted flesh and become someone else
Doesn’t matter
Never did

What a pointless thing we had.
