Ribcage

I know I said I was ok But I was hiding away Under a smiling charade Infused my words with finality I didn't know right away That this was so necessary Heaven knows that I'm not perfect I had to step away to see The forest fire for the trees And even though you're Turned around and upside down Surviving my storm will bring you Smoother seas Heaven knows that I'm not perfect But who the hell is I tried so hard To find a home for this hopeless soul These weary bones That I couldn't see the demons I had in tow I wasted oh so many years thinking I would never know even a Momentary love of my own Thought I felt it when you held me To your ribcage I am a tempest Always attempting his best At keeping the art of his damage From exceeding minimalist I'll love you till the day I snap and set myself ablaze To keep you from getting burned I had to send you away It wasn't leaving that made me selfish It was the time I spent Holding onto hope I tried so hard To find a home for this hopeless soul These weary bones That I couldn't see the demons I had In tow I wasted oh so many years thinking I would never know even a Momentary love of my own Thought I felt it when you held me To your ribcage Your ribcage Your ribcage Thought I found home When you held me
