You
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
