Damaged Goods |
She forced a smile, said, |
«Boy, come kiss my mouth |
You know that hope you’re holding to? |
It looks an awful lot like fear. |
Now, you’re so quick to fall on failure, and so quick to raise your voice, like, |
'If I can’t find a mistake to blame, we didn’t have a choice.' |
Oh, but you had option. |
I was your chance to feel complete, |
But when I leaned in close to you, you |
Kissed your fear instead of me. |
You had my hand in your hand, |
You had my lip in your teeth, |
You had my heart on your sleeve, |
You had a chance to breathe. |
But, boy, you wouldn’t let your fear recede so I moved on. |
And it’s too late to change your mind now, |
You got scared, boy, and I got gone. |
Now you failed, and there’s no way to turn back time. |
You had your chance, boy, I tried." |
«You tried?"I looked her in the eye and smiled, |
«My girl, you must understand that fear is not some product that I made. |
It crept unwelcome in my head the day they had her torn away. |
It changed me. |
Now at the end of everyday I lie awake at night and wait |
To feel the wires of my brain get cut and quietly rearranged, and |
Hear my beaten heart exclaim, 'Still, I refuse to let her go.'" |
So we escape to our mistakes for they wait patiently for us. |
Oh, how they always wait for me. |
If my fear has kept me here only my fear can set me free. |
And I’m sorry, dear, but don’t you dare say another word. |
How could I risk holding your heart in me while still in love with her? |
You were wrong." |
