If I was to say
Broken as I was
I could say
I was broken the day you
Went away
But
That would be a
Lie
If I was to say
You broke me
The day you went away
That would be me implying
It wouldn't break me
If you were to stay
And that I wasn't
broken well
Before that day

Beautiful, Chris. The verses, the repetition. Always a treat :-)

ReplyDeleteI watch the bath drain
see the circles sinking there,
hear the slurk suck me
into the cold dark
twists of iron that lead far
far away from here.
I'm now a weak mix
of gray water and thin blood
and getting thinner
as I go, go, go.
nice....felt & understood man, damned if you do and if you don't...or at least broke....nice and twisty but also straight up...
