Our Bodies Knew

I can still remember
The very first December
When symbolism faded
The way she moved displayed it

Could be a simple sigh
Or a heavy eye
And as the sunlight grew
I said something true.
Our bodies knew.

Flexible and nimble
Could fit inside a thimble
Every limb was pointed
At angles all disjointed

Until her scent is gone
I can’t move on
But with the sunrise due
I’ve got things to do
I’m telling you, our bodies knew.

I’ve only started to pretend
That I know half the things I think I’m doing
Don’t hold back it ain’t worth crying over
Cause one more day is that much older

They say that love is lawless
The imperfection? Flawless…
Truer words were never spoken
And broken hearts were born that way.

It fucks my day
In every way
She cut my heart in two but
I’ll say something true
Our bodies knew
