You trace circles on my shoulder
Name them after places we won’t go
Breath on my neck
Saying nothing
But I hear it in the spaces you leave

Half-closed curtains
Little dust moons float between us
You lean in slow
Like you’re trying
To remember how my real name sounds

Stay in this soft room in my head
Where your hands keep drawing me back
We don’t have to talk about tomorrow
Just breathe
Just breathe like that
Stay in this soft room in my head
Let the silence carry us flat
You can leave your history at the doorway
Just breathe
Just breathe like that

Your phone face down
Blinking out a life you’re not in
You laugh too low
Then it cracks
Spilling things you never meant to say

You say “I’m fine”
But your fingers argue on my ribs
I keep my eyes
On your mouth
Reading every little tremor you hide

Stay in this soft room in my head
Where your hands keep drawing me back
We don’t have to talk about tomorrow
Just breathe
Just breathe like that
Stay in this soft room in my head
Let the silence carry us flat
You can leave your history at the doorway
Just breathe
Just breathe like that
