They Say
I let her go
To cover up my scars
I assumed she was a foe
The stones of craving
I crushed under my teeth
I stole the parts from her breath
when it was hard for me to breathe
I covered my face with smile
when all I wanted was to sob
They say
'You did a Devil's job'
I want to make amends for what I did
love the next one to come, the way I never did
It's not going to be hard
to swim down the old shore
They say
'You're not a bad person at your core.'
