We don’t talk
We don’t laugh
We don’t play
Maybe this is a cold house
Maybe we are a cold family
Maybe I am a cold girl
They talk non stop
They laugh
They play all the time
Maybe theirs is a warm house
Maybe they are a warm family
Maybe they are warm kids
They think I’m weird
They think I’m wrong
They think I’m broken
Silence
Always the silence
Not the good kind
And then
I know
This is a cold house
We are a cold family
I am a cold girl
