Broken Ice

If i could i would
i’d pull your ribs apart
like the bars on the jail cell
we’d make a clean break
i’d touch your racing heart
to control those anxieties
to calm you down
to stop you from pacing around
so let me do all the worrying
you know i’m so good at it just like skating on broken ice with you
i’m treading lightly
i’m watching my step
this ship has sailed
our long moring walks
our shadows strateched out in front of us the new born sun buring away at our backs
the words were formed and spoken in relief
just happy that the moments had been filled
so let me do the pretending
we will get better over time
just like skating on broken ice with you i’m treading lightly
i’m watching my step
this ship has sailed and we’re pushing away
always a song in your head
always unfailing, always lovely
but you never bother to sing
it’s like skating on broken ice with you…
