short arms

Lord help me My arms are too short for selfies And though I'd like it, in this climate I can't afford to be wealthy Or healthy, some say it's all the same, I say they coincide Remember when they popped the trunk, and Roma told us go inside No no one died, but later did, I wish him well in where he went Appreciate how you lent two when few could barely spare a cent Older folks that see you as you are and tell you to your face Still saw it and acknowledged it once older, when he knew the taste Remember when you told me where my worth was when I hid it well Or thought I did, the start of this, you told me but I didn't tell Younger sibling lost before we lost you, lost right now I guess I watched how patterns reemerge and play themselves out more or less Before the death, avoided interactions once I saw the signs Bad actors poorly playing parts pretend again that all is fine All in time as i'd assumed, what's meant for makes a meal of you And all I ever meant to say was felt then, I still feel it too We thought we knew the meaning before the ending, now how's that possible From where we stood and when it was all options seemed improbable We thought we knew the meaning before the ending,how's that possible From where we stood and when it was all options seemed improbable We thought we knew the meaning before the ending,how's that possible I tell myself that I'd do anything, I pray you never ask I'd hate to prove me wrong and hate to see your pride die in a flash I tried to find a path, anywhere but here and any time before I close my eyes and I'm still where I am, you're here just must minus more Than I ever thought was possible to lose while staying whole as well You're hanging off yourself and play it off, but I still know it's hell What comes before the fall, you piece it back together, hope it holds And carry on still lying to yourself pretending no one knows And who am I to prove you wrong, got proofs to prove as well, and damn I know perfections not required of those who lend a helping hand But it feels like judgment nonetheless, and of course it does, it always was And I meant to make it better, but there's time and mine and all of us And I saw us once, still as we were, before it conquered what was left Caught in a moment, caught in constants, caught before we caught our breath And I wish that we could live in that, how many times, whoever knows But a wish is only what it was, what's done is done and so it goes We thought we knew the meaning before the ending, now how's that possible From where we stood and when it was all options seemed improbable We thought we knew the meaning before the ending,how's that possible From where we stood and when it was all options seemed improbable We thought we knew the meaning before the ending,how's that possible I couldn't tell you how it ends because I barely know the start And if it's all a stage as if they say I'm only owed a part I couldn't tell you how it ends because I barely know the start And if it's all a stage as if they say I'm only owed a part I couldn't tell you how it ends because I barely know the start And if it's all a stage as if they say I'm only owed a part I couldn't tell you how it ends because I barely know the start
