you don't say

i guess i don't know
how lucky i am

you don't tell me
with your eyes

i guess i don't know
how much you care

you don't show me
with your words

i don't know
if i'm the best
i don't know
if i'm the worst

i don't know
if i'm touching you

when i'm not there

where are your thoughts?
i can't see behind
drowsy eyes

it's old news
but i want your syllables
all over me

reminding me
that i'm yours

brand me
with the adjectives
burn me
with the nonsense verbs

at least i'll know for sure

even if the answers
are to questions
we should never think

let me drink in the sounds
of your impossibilities

(please)
