Maybe This Time

Me You

I cling to the memory of
You and me together
Your heartbeat next to mine
But there’s more than distance between us,
It’s a concrete block in the middle
Even though I still feel the heat radiating from your chest against my back
It’s all I can do to not shake
And let the burn take over my heart and mind
Your silence is a knife in my back
The most simplest of phrases can’t escape your twisted tongue
Your barren mind incapable of thought
Is this what we do? Is this
Your way of letting me simmer?
Maybe this time it’ll be my barren mind incapable of answering your utterances
Your heart that bleeds from my silence
