I thought

Then rethought

Then I thought again

This time deeper

And longer

Nails dug right in

Sunk into our mouths

Until words become flesh

Flayed open

Left broken

Wounds bare on our chest.

Then you thought

That I thought

That you thought not at all

About pain and misjudgment

Never would call

Oh my heart

Now it flutters

With love and withdrawal

For your thought

And my thought

Weren’t the same after all.
