I used Sharon's Gold Cell as segue
I needed you to know
enough to understand
enough to get why
Before I shed my clothes
I had to untie those secrets
to lay them out across our laps
feet up on the coffee table
I had to look away as I always do
and tell you
how damaged I was
how broken my heart had been
before I ever saw it coming
how it wouldn't be personal
how it wouldn't be about you
how I carried this weight all my life
how I didn't know if I could rest it
and you sat stone quiet
arm across my shoulders
you kissed my hair
locking your knees under mine
