Description
your breath on my facemy head on your chest
from the way I'm holding my balance,
you can't tell that my knees are shaking,
my heart racing.
adrenaline speeding through my veins
like those couches
speeding towards the floor when we cleaned
on the day of our first and only date.
I didn't think it was your fault
I just got frustrated
to the point where my phone
couldn't survive you.
I admit that it was already broken
that you didn't break me alone.
you picked me up, stuck the bits of me
back in one piece
but in the wrong way.
as if my face was on the back of my knee,
my heart on my sleeve
put together with sticky tack and a wish
that I'd hold together on my own.
maybe this will teach you as much as me
that it isn't fair to assume
you can only change the story to meet the truth
not what happened to meet the story
you'd like your life to follow.
I knew and you didn't
my bad. my mistake
for not straight up telling you.
maybe, eventually I will,
let you know the whole story
when I know it for myself.
the apocryphal truth:
i can't tell you what I don't know.
your hands on my back,
standing cheek to cheek.
I'll be fine, I promise,
so long as you hold me
until the end of time.
