EXCHANGE PLACE...

It's been a year to the day since I met you

And I'd like to say that you've broken my heart

Into tiny little pieces that I once believed were unbreakable

But that would only be a half truth

And I'd like to say that you've found happiness

Buried deep inside a family that gives you hope

But that too would only be a half truth

I'd like to pass the blame

Pretend you got away with a heart unscathed

But I know better

Blinded by the truth

Blinded by your eyes

And the tightness in your chest

During early morning hours that makes it impossible to breathe

That you loved me

And it scared you

It scared me too

That we met once before in another life

That would be the whole truth

The only thing to do is release you now

And in doing so I free myself

I am deserving of the whole truth

Nothing less
