Deaf

You don't listen
Always distracted
With things that
Have to do
With you
Sometimes
When I say your name
Again and again
You'll hold yourself still
Long enough for me
To open my mouth
And forget how to speak
All of these secrets
Keep building up
Inside of me

(I'm Not) Who I Was

This time things will be different

When I pick myself up off the floor

I won't be the person I was before

I keep repeating the lie

Over and over again

Trying to convince myself

To start all over again
