lying solo

Embracing arms
that hold each other tight
do you think about whose arms you grasp?
When youre snuggling in the night?
Locked together
like bandages that wont release
do you let him suffocate your soul
Every time you want to breathe?
Broken down
by fights that linger on
do you ever tell yourself youve won
when youve noticed that hes gone?
Nothing now
theres only silence in your screams
do you believe there was passion in his eyes
when he unzipped your denim jeans?
Its over now
and still you carry his heartbeat
Do you listen to that distant drum
when lying solo while you sleep?
