Careful.

We were so careful
Separately
You were careful
I was careful
We were careful
About ourselves
About each other
About what we were
We were careful
Together
We were so fucking careful
And then
We,
Just for a second,
Forgot to be
And when we stopped looking over our
Shoulders
Stopped listening for
Strange noises
When we forgot to be
Careful
Everything we had been so
Careful about
Broke down
Like a Jenga tower
Tumbled down
Crashing into each other
Rubble to sort through
And our carelessness
Fucked things up
Fucked everything up
And now
There's you
Being careful
There's me
Being careful
But
There's no us
Being careful
Together
