if it makes it any better
i know and always have known
how unworthy i am
of love
if it makes it any better
i know and always have known
that my words create an impassable
border a wall of ice a wall of sadness
i know it doesn't make it any better
but if i could i would take it all back
every whisper
every memory of the little dipper
every gasp of pleasure
every hidden butterfly
and lay myself at the feet
of the god i created
and i would let that ocean carry me home
and away from you
whom i never was able to transcend worlds with
if it makes it any better
it was never a lack of commitment to you
it was a lack of commitment to life
i shamed myself by letting you in
for i knew you would never love
what you would find
