You play me like a fool and I tie my hair up, and we're coming home to the sounds of each others voices planted somewhere In the vacuums of our chests, and your fingers are laced with splinters and you breathe out the fumes of last night's arguments, so I bust up a wall to avoid bursting out in tears, I don't know what end we are clinging to but I want my chest to be less hollow seems like I drag everything in & then it disappears, along with the nights we spent missing each other & I am so afraid to wake up with you gone, I am so afraid that this thing will crawl back under the covers & not emerge again.
