Just a Few of the Things

Just a Few of the Things...

Space,
And time,
And the way your hand fits perfectly in mine;
Just a few of the things I don’t understand.
Scars,
And pain,
And the person standing next to you today;
Just a few of the things that I hadn’t planned.

Lust,
And hate,
And the prayers that fell on deaf ears every day;
Just a few of the things that I should regret.
Fear,
And grief,
And the knife that always offered sweet relief;
Just a few of the things you wish I’d forget.

Cuts,
And burns,
And the point when hunger finally starts to hurt;
Just a few of the things that can bring me peace.
Beds,
And sheets,
And the beating heart that races just for me;
Just a few of the things only you can bring.

Fate,
And luck,
And the road you wish that I had never walked;
Just a few of the things that brought me to your arms.
Tears,
And smiles,
And the burning bridge that hid you from my sight;
Just a few of the things that will haunt my heart.

Bye,
Take care,
And a kiss so sad it forced me into tears;
Just a few of the things that you left behind.
Knives,
Matches,
And an empty fridge that I will never fill;
Just a few of the things that will calm my mind.
