I.
I chase happiness into the depths of the night
And search for it on eBay and Amazon
I light a fire trying to find the light
But bring destruction upon myself
I spend the weekends working out why it's so simple but so complicated
That I found a home for my body in yours
And there isn't a greater anchor than that of a human
I confessed my love like a secret
That never got to be told
It wrapped around you like a rumour
You couldn't believe to be true
I stated it like a fact
A breed between a noun and a verb
Yet I am mute
And your hands were my subtitles
I can now say I have a heart because I can feel it breaking
I can now say that people are not medicine
I am able to taste history and remember things that never happened
The coldness in my heart never leaves from my tongue
I keep the worst of us close to myself
