he said i’m tired of you.
she said i’m tired of it,
and there we were,
trying to figure out
the difference.

he said it hurts my head
to be around you.
she said it hurts less
knowing i’m hurting,
too.

it was already summer
and no one bothered
to tell us about it.

he said i blame you
for everything.
she said i blame myself
for giving you everything
i had left.

something in her voice
said she wanted it
all back.

he said why don’t we
just end it?

she just kept thinking
about how it already
ended.

he said i’m walking
away.
she said don’t
walk—-

run.
