She Said

She said, I need you to tell me all the thoughts you filter out
She said, I need a connection between your body and your mind
Was it so hard to find
Got lost blurring the lines
Between honest and kind

I'm plagued by the places I should never have touched
Loitering like a stranger on the edges of lust
Slow dancing hands, examined in
Forensic light, illuminate
These careless plans
My oversights

She said, I don't want you to worry with tear-stained cheeks
She was scared of the battle not the defeat
Fighting anxiety only to speak
I hope she stands proud, when I'm not around
Because I won't be for good

I'm plagued by the places I should never have touched
Loitering like a stranger on the edges of lust
Slow dancing hands, examined in
Forensic light, illuminate
These careless plans
My oversights

Her words they bury deep, don't know where to begin
Give and take, how did this become mine to break
Her words they bury deep, don't know where to begin
Give and take, well how did this become mine to break
It's mine to break

She said, at least give me the chance to end things right
No, she can't accept the outcome without twisting the knife
Language cold and contemptuous, lingers late in the night
And I said
I said goodbye
