I take into consideration everything you've said. It becomes gospel, and your word is your truth. Behind the breath that pushes it out is the furnace of a victim.
When it hits, translation transferred. Within it's stir I break. A meaning pure beyond intention, seeps through the cracks of my lips.
I sigh through my broken teeth. I know exactly what this means.
There's unitended consequences in everything, you know? If sometimes we just looked an inch further. If sometimes we just stuck around a bit longer.
But you felt compelled, who was I to stop you? Can't say I didn't try. Now we see that your perfect plan didn't change your affliction, it contributed to mine.
Your lure is ever enticing, slamming me into that wall. The wall you built and I obeyed. Weaker nights I cry out from the pain. And I curse my weakness, I curse the day you went away.
I let others lie to me, and it's getting easier now.
Do you ever wonder about me? Or are you sure of my can't?
I can't say I'm polished perfect, but I'd do anything, and I'd certainly understand.
