lyrics

Crafted like a Vase
Placed hands—Projection
To try and smooth
perceived Imperfection
Born from the same
anxiety She had
Now I take it on
Throwing into cracks

The clay still remains
Stuck in my nails
and cracks in my fingers
Dried, draped like a veil
She wears it too—though
Spoke prim and proper
I see clay-cover’d hands
More must be potters

I didn’t plan to fall in love with you
I didn’t plan to fall in love with you
Do you hear me?
This isn’t my fault
I didn’t plan it
It just happened
On walks with no scenery
And picnics with no supplies
In your arms when I was scared
When you touched my hair in the way only you can still
And I’m just telling you I would love not to care
I would love to have broken up when we broke up
My heart broke a piece at a time instead of swiftly and I know yours did too
Now It’s time to sweep up the pieces but I don’t want to
I want to leave them broken on the floor
Like mother’s old vase that toppled over when I used to roughhouse with my cousins
I don’t wanna touch them
