so say

you sway
reach out
react
retract
i act
out subtle little shifts
to place each quake
yes, i take responsibility
yes, i make few apologies
mistakes just come so easily
when that’s what
you expect
me to make
for the sake of sanctity
i withhold my due
i swish
wishing away the way
you act
redact,
retelling our love
in parables
names changed
but the weather’s the same
just come down here
just hold this kiss
just remember
what’s real
