Je vous donnerais mes yeux

No matter how hard I try to deny it, there is a raw aching that I can’t reveal.

I’d give you my heart if you lost the strength to face the world outside
I’d give you my eyes if I could make you see that we’re just ships that ride the tides

All of these things that I could say to you, Jamie, they are pointless.  No, you arent happy there, I know that as much as you do.  You can fool yourself into believing that her apologies mean she is sorry.  That she really will be different this time.  I know how hard it is to look her in the face, in her teary eyes, and tell her "no, it’s not ok".  It is so much easier to fall into those transiently sympathetic arms, and forgive again.  That’s one place that we have always understood eachother.  So frightened of the devil unknown…at least this is one you know.

I suppose that it was presumptuous and selfish of me to think you were at this same preccipice.  In a corner of my heart, i suppose I knew.  I imagine this is how you felt, starving and unimportant, all that time ago.  How quickly the lilt in your voice fell away, that I knew before you even told me.

I’ll be here, lingering like smoke around a bar after closing.  Waiting for you to arrive.

Like the tide, she will always roll away
