Maybe I’ll finish it later? It’s a rather loose take on the idea

Until now I didn’t understand

Didn’t understand what love you had for me

I never saw myself as a thing worth my time

Time to slip away, melting down the drain

But you picked me up from darkness that drained me, letting me stay

Staid fast you hold me up, so gently

Gentlemanly, inferior a word to you

Let me grow an evergreen, not a yew that poisons

Poised to take the piss, hide the pain

Shattered pane of glass a pricking of emotions

When I try to tell you this, emotive speech, slips away, awkward look to the right

But, you were raised right, by your mother

Keeping mum about my secrets, about my fears of vulnerability

Vuln splitting me open, let me feel shame

Sham of my life seems a little brighter with us

Though our western world falls apart, UK US, left corrupt
