The fears that keep me awake at night
made me nightmare through that day
up
up
Little bubbles clustering up in my brain
'til they spilled as tears from my eyes.
But my brain was still full so I looked at you
and you knew
You put the pain in my throat twice that day,
once when you looked away.
We spoke and we spoke and we spoke and my voice was
dead.
I said
what are words? Words. What are words?
and you cried.
I thought I was wiping my tears from your cheeks,
I thought they were mine.
And then I knew you were scared.
So I held you.
You put the pain in my throat twice that day,
twice when you gave way
Our cheeks that our cleansed
by our tears of today
will rub against eachother tomorrow
because you cried.
