My Borrowed Soul
<p>I am your open palm,</p><p>A cup for every storm
</p><p>Let all your shadows fall,
</p><p>I’ll hold them till they’re warm
</p><p><br/></p><p>I lean toward broken things,
</p><p>Hungry for trembling wings,
</p><p>Give me your trembling too
</p><p>I’ll paint my heartbeat in your blues
</p><p><br/></p><p>Your sorrow finds its way,
</p><p>It curls in me to stay,
</p><p>I breathe it in like smoke
</p><p>And call it mine each day
</p><p><br/></p><p>Envy in your eyes?
</p><p>Give it, no disguise,
</p><p>I’ll fold it into me,
</p><p>Like truth wrapped up in lies
</p><p><br/></p><p>I echo what you are,
</p><p>A reflection stretched too far,
</p><p>Your weight becomes my spine,
</p><p>Your ache becomes my star
</p><p><br/></p><p>So spill into my chest,
</p><p>Your unrest, your unrest.
</p><p>I’ll barter off my peace
</p><p>To cradle your distress
</p><p><br/></p><p>But now my vessel leaks,
</p><p>And I’m tired of what it seeks…
</p><p>I tried to be your mirror,
</p><p>But I’ve blurred myself for weeks
</p><p><br/></p><p>I’m fading at the rim
</p><p>A silhouette grown dim,
</p><p>I carried all of you,
</p><p>And now I’m losing me
</p><p><br/></p><p>
</p>
