Bending to Break

I’ve been made of stone

I’ve been too far gone

And I’m finally standing up straight

After years of bending to break

For people who weren’t willing to do the same

Burdened by empty promises

And made to feel worthless

But then you crumble when I speak

And you tell me I bring you to your knees

And these things that I feel for you

Are so true

I just wanna stow away with you

I want to keep you

Close to me

Just one moment when goodbyes

Are muffled beneath the sounds of butterflies

In your stomach

And I want to stay underneath

A sheet

Of devotion and simplicity

Where we can drink felicity

Like wine

With legs intertwined

And mouths that speak only in poetry

Where I could try to make you love me.
