Skating: Parts 11-12

Shall

April 20, 2023

Shall I trust that you love me now

Shall I take your word for it

Or find out somehow

Does it hurt that I still hold

A small seed of doubt

Help me trust that you love me now

There are times I’m not sure just

What you see in me

When I don’t know exactly

Who I’ve come to be

Just I don’t know what you 

Dare

I dare you to break my heart

I dare me to break my heart

I don’t want to break your heart

If you ever wondered 

how strange it might be

To be one of her Starbucks lovers 

Maybe now you see

Catch up on a decade’s worth

Of never thought that this could hurt

Of never knowing solid ground

Of being safe and sound

And it’s fine from day to day

But every so often I fear this way

And I tell myself to look inside

The cafe stops, the morning rides

Read between the lines 

Translate it all into

Letters you don’t write

It’s fine, I’m a visual learner

I dare you to break my heart

I dare me to break my heart

I don’t want to break your heart
