yours are the only ears

susannah. this just stopped my heart.

we were just children 
holding hands to hang on 
& our bodies are destructive 
but isolation 
feels wrong 
although our room is a closet 
we feel like we belong 

but i am not yours 
& you are not mine 
i'm sorry i forget that sometimes 

i can feel your guilt 
fill your temper 
i know that we both can 
persuade the other 
but when you blow too hard 
i become nothing 
but the silence is a scar 
from before i heard you sing 

but i am not yours 
& you are not mine 
i'm sorry i forget that sometimes 

i'll put away my last breath 
before you come home 
& if it's not too late i'll tell you 
that i'm happy & you're not alone
