I'm a dimepiece
with a timepiece

but I'll tell you one thing
I've never had
good timing.

twenty years
young.
old, I thought
but not old enough
to believe
you're the last good thing
to come around.

just wise enough
to know
a good thing
like you
is worth trying for

I'm a dimepiece
with a timepiece

but I'll tell you one thing
I've never had
good timing

the one for a
minute.
guards up
so the letting down
is easy.
easier
to tread lightly

ha.
turns out
that's not
easy
at all

cause I'm a dimepiece
with a timepiece

but I'll tell you one thing
I've never had
good timing

twenty three years
old.
old enough, you'd think
to know
a good thing
like me
is worth trying for

can't say that I'm
too good for you.
just too bad
you won't give
what I deserve

cause I'm a dimepiece
with a timepiece

but I'll tell you one thing
I've never had
good timing

just
a tree.
taking root
slowly, gradually
firmly.
yes, firmly.
reaching deeper
growing stronger
holding tighter.



think it's easy
when I'm
ripped out of
pulled out of
torn out of
familiar
soil

uprooted.
to make way
for something
newer
prettier


better

just
a tree
and I guess
its my time
to leave

Trying so hard
to straighten things out,
straighten myself out.
to untie,
unravel,
untangle.
all of the knots
in my stomach and
in my chest.
Life
is always leaving me a mess
leaving me broken
leaving me tired.
I'm sick of trying
to untie,
unravel,
untangle.
all of these
stupid
knots.
