What will
you ask me
After the
hellos and how are you's?
When the
pause starts to sink in
And the
lights don't fill in the spaces
What will
you ask me?
About my
day
Or what I'm
reading
My
favourite places in a lonely city
Or why I've
suddenly fallen silent
What will
you ask me?
About why I
can't speak around you
About the
space you're taking up in my head
About the
double time my heart is beating
What will
you ask me?
Of the
hours late at night I hope that I'm keeping you up
Like you
are me
Or the
hours replaying everything over again
Reading
into what's not there
No, you
will not ask me these things
Because you
do not know
That my
heart bubbles with these words but my tongue remains still
And I am
not brave enough to ask
The risk is
too great
The truth
too devastating
So I will
not ask you either
And we will
stay hanging in between
Hello and
how are you
