K.

I think it’s the way the divine leaks from your eyes
That moulds my heart into becoming your wings
I didn’t trade the moth for a butterfly
So for you, I became just like all the other things

I tattooed words to my heart
Those weren’t enough
You say fall back into place
And tattoo those words on your face

I’m picking up the pieces that I can find
Of my heart that the glue didn’t bind
It’s a lot bigger than it used to be
I appreciate the love you gifted me

The beginning was unexpected
But the end was premeditated
We danced around the edge of the sword
It’s a death I wasn’t sure we would afford

You’re with them now, and I hope you’re glad
We’re on a quest to find our own
That’s the remedy for a love you said was driving you mad
I wrote to survive being alone

Through it all I smile and try to
assess who is and is not my friend
Even though just for a while, I pray for you too
I pray true love finds you in the end
