Overwhelming Space

I never thought you cared. I never thought I compared
to all you thought love was:
contests and races I could never have won.
I remember you when, tired and broken,
I made you laugh.
When sleep divides your day in half,
and all has passed,
the shit that filled your cup isn’t enough.
And the words that grace your tongue
don’t say as much.
All I know is I’m still trying to figure things out.
And you, you’re still trying to figure things out.
