an attempt to tip the scales

losing what i love in a mess of details

is it the left or right shoulder

by white horse

i was speechless
and my eyes were starting to tear
as you stood there.

half naked in front of the mirror
looking at your body
and not seeing it at all

in the odd glow of a lamp
that is usually never turned on

and i wanted to scream

or maybe just smash that mirror

because i would take seven bad years
to save you one day
