It Used To Be Us

It’s not you

It’s not me

Yet

Somehow it was us

...

You won’t say

You don’t dare

Why did you claim all the silence?

...

When it shattered

...

So

Many

Many

Many

...

scraps

...

They made up the essence of you

Now lie, scattered around

Hiding amongst the words

...

That

Are

Still

Unspoken

...

Do me a solid and spit out the poison

Bloating your lungs

...

If time didn't matter,

Would there still be hope?

...

No answer

Hard-hitting echoes

No feelings?

...

I guess we are goners

a nd it is

no

one's fault
