i am no refuge
if the past 2 years
have taught me anything
i am more shrapnel than shelter
with willing hearts
strewn in my wake
but i am kind
i will not salt your wounds
with these tears
i will keep my distance
but these thoughts like water
circulate silently around you
never straying farther than
these arms can swim
and i am weak
i am so weak
for the smile that found me
in the sound and the strangers
much softer and worthier than i
but your songs still medicate me
and you said you'd keep me warm
and i don't remember
what i said next
but it doesn't matter anymore
because
you said you'd keep me warm
and i am still shivering
