With my heart ever open
And your bedroom door closed
In the night I've awoken
Wearing yesterday's clothes
Isolation is teaching
Cutting down to the wire
These seclusions revealing
How my termites conspire
Fragile walls painted yellow
Newest state of decay
Solitude is acidic
Tuck these tokens away
I have drifted away from you and
I have howled to these empty rooms and
I have trinkets and darkness and shame
As you tried to stay open
I refused to come in
Even care feels like danger
In the touch of your skin
What's the last iteration
Of this thing that we made
The more we pull at these blankets
The more the fabric is frayed
Every word spells exhaustion
Every gesture a sob
Every moment a glimmer
For the ravens to rob
I have hidden away from you and
I have haunted these sunlit rooms and
I have held onto parts of you and
I am scared what my heart can do and
I am grasping for clarity and
I am trying to live as me and
I am breaking the walls of this frame
