The anvil that is my heart
Didn't press me as heavily to my bed this morning
Because you're there now
Even if it's different
Even if I can't say "I still love you"
Without fearing you'll feel guilty
So I take my half weighted heart
And say it with different words
"Did you eat today?"
"How are you?"
"Don't forget to take you allergy meds."
I hide my feeling in the depths of them
And wait for you to say it back
