Mine

You were a paper

Everybody tore a piece of you from you

You looked happier  

But then I realised it was just for show 

Oh My, my friends told me things that made it obvious that they liked you  

And my brother said to me, "You know he is so cool."

Your friends made it seem like you were the most handsome in school

But when you came and talked to me what came out was the truth.

And for some time I remember I had you with me

Showing me your scars telling me your story

People said whatever they liked

But this perspective that I had was mine.

You were a medal 

I thought I would never win 

You were the citadel 

And I lived down there and never saw you looking at me 

Oh My, it became a duty of mine to hide me and you 

I got your letters asking me if I wanted you 

And I said the girls you had been with before were way more beautiful 

But then you said, "The point is that they are not like you." 

And for some time I remember I had you with me. 

Showing me your scars telling me your story

People said whatever they liked

But this perspective that I had was mine.

I thought I had figured you out

I thought we could live in peace now 

Away from the loose lips and big mouths 

I knew one day we would be found 

Sinking ships are supposed to go down

At least we had holy ground.
