it's not that you didn't try
no
it's more i didn't listen
and i kept on not listening
then you stopped speaking
i thought nothing
because i wasn't listening anyway

i knew it was empty
there was nothing
yes
then i heard a funny little grumble
deep in my head
there you were
it scared me
what were you doing in my head

every thing fell into place
the throbbing
the suffocation
the death
we hadn't danced together in so long
what was strong no longer functioned
no longer mattered
i could not stand

there was no voice
there was no hand
i was alone
