it seems like
everything that hides
inside of me
hides inside of you
it seems like I know
and I feel what you do
it’s like every word
I whisper
is every word you’re
screaming
and every dying breath
you take
quickens me the same
it’s like this emptiness inside
has an echo
an echo of my soul
dying; dead
dead soul
living a half life
in misery
it seems like every piece of me
that is missing
is the same piece that’s
missing inside of you
it seems like every hollow ache
echoes back to me
and washes over me
with your words
it seems like
everything that hides
inside of me
hides inside of you
it seems like I know
and I feel what you do
and every word You’re
screaming
is every word
I have ever
tried to form
