So many times I don’t know it’s there
Sadness
trapped in my body
Despair
a forward fold and then
the tears
Walking up his driveway
I knock on his door
He gives me an adjustment
and I cry some more
He made me still, then a sudden crack
and woah
Didn’t know it was stuck like that
The body holds what the mind won’t
The mind’s got tricks
The body don’t
The mind escapes
But the body knows
The Body Knows
there’s all these broken pieces
on the floor between me and you
evidence of our friendship that Life just shattered through
I can see you on the other side tending to your wounds
You can see me over here, I’m tending to mine, too
I guess breaks like this don’t hurt this much
unless the love is Huge
and time has passed and we’ve both patched
those places where we bled
As best we could and we moved on ‘cause that’s what people do
Still, I kept you in my heart
You were rooting for me, too
Now here we are
This same old place and yet somehow, it is new
Those broken pieces waiting there…
But you showed up.
And I showed up.
And both of us
brought glue
