Bones Under My Hands
My arms outstretched to you My bravado a self-deprecating joke I forget what what we said And what face I made But I remember how your body felt Under my hands I remember how you pulled away Before I even thought to Because I was so lost I could feel your spine, shoulder blades, your bones I wonder what you felt Are you embarrassed, too? Or did it never even occur to you? I can't tell if I really did Hold on forever Or that's just how it feels To be painfully in love
