Preformative

I am, when we are together

We continue the dance

Of not saying what we should

Afraid to break it

This thing between us

But hasn’t it been broken all along?

What are we trying to salvage?

We keep on dancing with the lights off

Chasing the beat of the music

I can no longer hear

Our beating hearts

Just mine

I lost you

When you decided to look for space

Look for people

Outside of our horizons

I try not to be angry

But the hard truth is

You left me alone

Now resentment is knocking on my door

I don’t want to let it in

But loneliness opens the lock

And I can hear the music playing
