Verse by @shiloh.pike

i left the door unlocked for a season you were a rumor i believed twice winter came in through the window we never fixed i put the whole year in one suitcase

your laugh survives in the hallway the river takes what it is offered the highway hums the way you used to the dog still waits by the door at six

we made a home out of almost the highway hums the way you used to the mirror learned my face by accident i traded my quiet for a louder kind of quiet

the radio only plays the parts i remember i am learning to be a room with the curtains open
