Let Us Sit For A While

I couldn’t stand the silence at the dining table

And how we pretended it was normal

Like maybe then we could ignore the fact this was not something so sure

Like maybe the sadness from your absence comes solely from the memory of you

Love is a whore,

I catch myself wanting to say

 

While the folky guitar whistles through the radio

I tasted the intimacy and all of its secrets

“You’re not used to this, are you?”

No I guess I wasn’t

But neither were you
