i can't believe there was a time 
   where i would lie 

 to myself 
to my heart 
to my      b r a i n


   thinking my soul was at fault

 but my mother called and said 
  
     nothing is wrong and i'm allowed 
to hold my bleeding heart in my 
palm 

if i want

not a man
not a woman

can tell me how to treat
 a broken heart


until you feel my pain 

take your eyes for a walk 
              before it 

                             rains
