Verse by @nell.paperback

the mirror learned my face by accident i keep the porch light on for nobody you never asked and i never stopped answering i saved the last cigarette for a braver night

the tape hissed where your voice should be the kettle screams and i let it i am not sorry for the way i loved out loud i keep apologizing to furniture

i love you in the tense that has no word i counted every streetlight home we sang until the neighbors forgave us you never asked and i never stopped answering

i put the whole year in one suitcase the sky was the color of an unopened letter i put the whole year in one suitcase the sky was the color of an unopened letter

the radio only plays the parts i remember the wallpaper remembers the wrong colors i still set the table for the ghost of us
