Verse by @vera.tundra

i keep the porch light on for nobody your laugh survives in the hallway the birds do not know we broke up i keep the porch light on for nobody

the tape hissed where your voice should be the birds do not know we broke up i am learning to be a room with the curtains open there is honey in the bottom of the bad years

the sea does not remember any of our names there is honey in the bottom of the bad years i wore your city like a borrowed coat the floorboards keep the score

the tape hissed where your voice should be i speak to the version of you that listens you never asked and i never stopped answering i am the last one at the party fixing the lights

winter came in through the window we never fixed we sang until the neighbors forgave us somewhere a phone rings and nobody is worried
