Verse by @lyra.dunes

by @lyra.dunes

we sang until the neighbors forgave us the sea does not remember any of our names you never asked and i never stopped answering you can hear the whole town breathing at four am

somewhere a phone rings and nobody is worried the sea does not remember any of our names i left the door unlocked for a season i traded my quiet for a louder kind of quiet

winter came in through the window we never fixed my hands still know your kitchen the moon is a coin i cannot spend we were young and the light was cheap

we sang until the neighbors forgave us the wallpaper remembers the wrong colors i left the door unlocked for a season i wore your city like a borrowed coat

your laugh survives in the hallway the birds do not know we broke up the wallpaper remembers the wrong colors i wrote your number on my palm and washed my hands
