Thief
Folder:
The Every Now and Thens You are a strange, wild bird
I let you eat my heart out with
a dirty fingernail
it has shattered
I am still sweeping the mess
and gathering my wits
You dangle your love like a thief
Three years is a long time to jerk
a chain
And I blew the whistle and I called your sick bluff
caught you open handed darling,
falling out from under me
I'll give you what you want.
I'll stretch out my hands and
fill you up with all the things you've taken from me
A clever thief,
who steals a broken heart
is the worst kind
and the best lie,
is trying to fix a hole that
you have cut into someone else
and pretending that you
didn't mean it
