the paint came off the walls in your house and the heat seeped through the windows and your eyes got lost in the dark you found it hard to drift off to sleep with these heavy thoughts on your mind when it’s quiet and unbearable
sometimes the words don’t come out sometimes you keep your mouth shut
you spent the whole night wide awake with curtains drawn to keep the trouble at bay in a city you can’t see through
sometimes the words don’t come out sometimes you keep your mouth shut
