Verse by @marlow.quinn

you can hear the whole town breathing at four am summer left its fingerprints on the glass the field went gold then went to sleep i love you in the tense that has no word

the mirror learned my face by accident the tape hissed where your voice should be i traded my quiet for a louder kind of quiet i wore your city like a borrowed coat

the tape hissed where your voice should be the streetlamp buzzed like a held breath i keep the porch light on for nobody the calendar keeps making promises

the wallpaper remembers the wrong colors winter came in through the window we never fixed i left the door unlocked for a season somewhere a phone rings and nobody is worried

i am not sorry for the way i loved out loud i am not sorry for the way i loved out loud summer left its fingerprints on the glass winter came in through the window we never fixed

the map was wrong but the walking was right i love you in the tense that has no word i speak to the version of you that listens i keep apologizing to furniture
