Take It

Take it back

The love you never gave for free

The smiling looks from eyes that lied

The soft breath brushing my face

as you turned away

Every time you made me think

you knew me better than I knew myself

Every laugh

every touch

every quiet pull

on my straps, my braid, my heart

Take it back

this cup holding the nothing you never meant to give

Take it back

this emptiness shaped so clearly like you

When I am gone you may find

the emptiness in you is shaped like me
