I look into the doorknob 

Because you’re at the mirror.

Stumble down the stairs 

In the middle of the night, 

Nobody cares,

You let yourself fall behind. 

I take my broken bones,

The gnawed ivory,

And speak your silence. 

You’ve never answered,

But nobody cares,

You let yourself fall behind.

The house 

That is a miniature, 

Our home— 

The sky’s gray for you,

The sun’s gone for me. 

I’m a lost cause, 

You’re a sunken sun 

Sibling of faint, dark moons,

Nobody cares, 

You let yourself fall behind. 

Has the house been turned upside down? 

You fall to the ground, 

The blunted kitchen knives 

Lining the half-dining-room-half-kitchen, 

With its muddled fridge,

Its lonely table, chairs,

This is our home. 

You pledged to forever, 

In secret, unaware, 

I vowed to my lost sorrows,

In secret, unaware. 

 

How did I get here? 

Nobody cares… 

You let yourself fall behind… 

Nobody cares… 

I let myself fall behind.
