They say it takes a miserable heart
To appreciate another
Just as battered
To see a soul through the shroud of
Tear stained fog
Blinding
A heart so unrecognizable
It takes years of sorrow
A heartbreak’s worth of pain
The epitome that is
Not us.
Never us
We wave goodbye to the time we spent
Wanting, needing
Hoping
He tells her not to hope
That there’s nothing to hope for
What he says
When his heart lies to his mouth
He carries the universe
He carries her heart
The familiar hum of her
He carries her
And in it
And with it
he takes her away
The only place they’re safe
They say the beautiful
Rests on the foundations
Of the necessary
And men are trapped
Not knowing the difference
They will ask
When he knew he was in love
He will not have an answer
Or any reason that could satisfy
Because it was never about a moment
It was about waking up
And there was no mistaking it
And on the day he turns around again
He’ll read the words she never said to him
The smile she kept only for two
The secret shared between her and you.
You carry her heart
The familiar hum of her
You carry her
