Laying backwards off your bed,
Street lamps steaming through the blind ahead,
You hurt me with one sentence
That I wish you'd never said.
you hurt me with one single breath
You could of kept to yourself.
As i grow old
my skin loosens on my bone.
And I am somehow more alive,and at home.
I realise the beauty
of an unspoken word.
And all these ancient feelings i've heard
My heart feeding my brain,
Open mouthed, and unfurled
They have still been real,
even when they stayed within me.
