Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
A cry in the hinge of the gate to the yard Of the house that we briefly pretended was ours A flicker of light as the lavender waved And I vowed to surrender but part of me stayed behind And I wanted to tell you An unknown perennial grazes the eaves By the window where you got a horsefly to leave I'd come up holding a rolled magazine And you wordlessly bade me to vacate the scene And I did as you asked But I'm never who I'd prefer to be It's like it never occurs to me To let things go A swirl in the wood of the bench by the curb I sat solemn and sunburned and rendered inert You found me there holding an ocean of need And you wordlessly gave me permission to breathe And I just started crying And I wished I was not ashamed of it Pinned down by the weight of it Afraid that you'd be afraid of it What I can't let go
