shared silence

Shared silence

As comfortable as your hoodie

I know how you’d react

If I said that

Or if you found out

About him

Take the earbud

I’ll listen through the other

That nervous habit of yours

Don’t think I don’t notice

Don’t think I don’t care

When you talk like that

Or when you look at her

Like she should be yours

Your wild accusations

Come out in stone cold glares

My violent envy

Leaves me in quips of wit

Annoying as heck but would I change any of it?

Would your soul stay the same if I did?

He waits for me while I tie my shoe,

She shifts closer to you as you're walking

But then we sit and our eyes, they meet

The lines on your face soften

And I nearly forget that any of them exist
