My thoughts aren't always quiet

can you deal with the sobbing and crying

and the way tears smear on my face

Our arguments come and go

but never change

but don't read into things

don't do that

Breaking things makes me feel better

but you say there are just a few things you can't fix

like the crack of dawn or a broken heart

But what about hurts we can't wish away

like yours and mine

or the way I have ruined your smile

and poked little accidental holes in your happiness
