Do you hear? (Which is worse?)

Some days-
I feel you
A little too close
To the edge
Our edges
Like to overlap
Maybe that’s why
We keep the dream
Alive inside
For the want of life
For the love
Of each other
I’m trying to understand
But how can I
Discern the silence
When I can hear
You scream inside
Do you hear
Me screaming, too?
Have I been dreaming
Too long,
Or is this
The truth?
I don’t know
Which is worse…
