You Say

It hurts

You say it will heal

You say you love me

You think about it

How it slipped from your mouth

You examined my lies

Ripped them from my insides

Tossed them out with peels and cores

It burns

You say it will get better

You say there is nothing to fear

And soon I won’t recognize myself

You wrote about it

How it came down to bolts and wires

You told me to open my eyes

You said you are my lover

So let’s not fuck around

We bleed our existential in this full moon

It aches

You say it will stop

You say you want me

From now on you’ll protect me

From this bullshit I put myself through

You will teach me how to walk again

You will force these bones to knit

If it takes re-breaking them

I float above you for fractions

I ride the current you breathe

Nothing can enter my circle

No one can be here but you

You say you know me

You say this is a good night

To let our shields lay low

No more war, no more fray

And I believe

Every word

You say
