I spend so much time
Pinching the skin
Between my thumb and forefinger
Hoping that the pain will grab the tears
And drag them back into the ducts

I have to shoulder the burden
Though my insides are trembling
And my soul is shaking apart
For these ghosts pale in comparison
The the skeletons in your past

Still, the tears spill
And I need to cling to you
Because you are my shattered rock
And you're steady enough for me
Let me be steady enough for you
