You

I sit and listen
to the salt water drip
from the cracks in the roof
and off
the cheeks of the scared
if only you would’ve cared

my stomach grumbles
while my mouth screams
a battle cry for this fight
and I
am scared of my own face
if only you would’ve stayed

love is a hook
buried deep in my cheek
and I’ve been dragged to places
I don’t wanna go to
but what about you?
