Fever Dream

we were in it

like a fever dream

like liquid looking for a cracks in the seam

I said your name aloud into a black room with no walls

but was it even a room at all?

I made my bed by the lion’s den

and put my fate fully in her mouth

I made sure that no one knew how deep it grew

and no news is good news

what we love isn’t supposed to hurt us

what we don’t speak about isn’t real

who you love is gonna kill ya

what we don’t speak about we can feel
