Lost in the In-Between

You text late

Then fade out

You say “it’s nothing”

I still drown

Clothes on the floor

Phone on the couch

Your name on the screen

Then it times out

You say “chill

You think too deep” (too deep)

I say “yeah

That’s kind of me” (kind of me)

I’m somewhere stuck between your sheets

And the things you never say to me

I’m confused

But I keep calling

Every time you pull

I’m falling

Tell me

Are we more than bodies in your room?

I’m bruised from the way you hold me

Half truth every time you show me

I’m caught between your “stay” and “we’re just cool”

I’m lost here

Lost in the in-between of you

You say “we vibing”

Then go quiet

You kiss my neck

Then start a riot

You’re asking what I’m doing next week

Then laughing like you never meant it

You say “chill

You think too deep” (too deep)

I say “yeah

That’s kind of me” (oh, that’s me)

You’re drawing hearts on my white tee

Then acting like you never touched me

I’m confused

But I keep calling

Every time you pull

I’m falling

Tell me

Are we more than bodies in your room?

I’m bruised from the way you hold me

Half truth every time you show me

I’m caught between your “stay” and “we’re just cool”

I’m lost here

Lost in the in-between of you
