I pulled the skeletons out of my closet Summarized my darkest fears of abandonment And held them between your fingers as I struggled To explain my deepest rooted pain through words Like surrendering everything that has left me empty And giving it to you to use as a weapon against me Shattering every wall I have built to keep away anyone Who would care enough to understand why I ever Built a wall in the first place.

The Beginning
I pulled the skeletons out of my closet Summarized my darkest fears of abandonment And held them between your fingers as I struggled To explain my deepest rooted pain through words Like surrendering everything that has left me empty And giving it to you to use as a weapon against me Shattering every wall I have built to keep away anyone Who would care enough to understand why I ever Built a wall in the first place.
Part of my "Infinite Parts" series, dedicated to you.
