I know you
Say
When your body was
Tighter
Your heart was lighter
Or
Soon
You will be more
But right now ….
And I know
Believe me I know
Things don’t always work out
I’m still pulling scales
Out of this flesh and bone
Anger and stone
Setting down my knives
But I still feel somehow
The shadows of those wounds
Dreams die
And
We continue
——-
But you
You’re more than a woman
To me
Right here
In this cemetery town
More than a woman
Right now
As you are
More than you know
More than you’ve been
More than you know ….
