You Can Argue By Yourself

I’m not walking away in anger

I’m just choosing the kind of quiet

My heart can breathe inside

You can argue by yourself tonight

Not as punishment

Not as a lesson

Just because I’m tired of watching

My tenderness turn into armor

I hope the room feels softer

When you hear your own voice echo

Maybe you’ll notice

How heavy it sounds

When no one is holding it with you

I’m not closing the door

I’m just sitting somewhere

The light feels kind again

If you want to meet me there

Come gently
