I was the earth and you were the sun.
You spun like a compass
Around all that I've done.
How I have failed, but I tried my best.
If only I could touch the hem of your dress.
You were a pivot and I was a lynchpin.
You don't want to stay but you like how we bend.
You don't know me now but you know who I've been,
And if you could stay you could love me again.
Because life is a game of interpreting scars.
The bruises on my face and the lines lines on your arms.
I haven't forgotten you need carrying, too;
I'm the heaviest burden that ever you knew.
