You said
"Just trust"
So I did
Hands full of dust
Called it a gift
You painted next year
On the back of receipts
Circled our names
Like a secret you'd keep
You swore the timing
Was almost right
"Hold on a little"
You turned off the light
Porcelain promises
Stacked on a shelf in my chest
One by one they slip
Shatter as soon as they're pressed
I keep sweeping up
Tiny cuts I can't confess
Porcelain promises
Sharp in my hands as I rest
You drew a doorway
On my bedroom wall
Said
"We'll walk through
When I've fixed it all"
I traced the outline
Till the paint wore thin
Waiting for footsteps
You stayed where you've been
Porcelain promises
Stacked on a shelf in my chest
One by one they slip
Shatter as soon as they're pressed
I keep sweeping up
Tiny cuts I can't confess
Porcelain promises
Sharp in my hands as I rest
How many "almosts"
Can a heart hold up
Before "someday soon"
Starts to rust
Was I your anchor
Or just your excuse
I keep believing
You'll tell me the truth
Porcelain promises
Balanced on cracks in my faith
Every quiet "soon"
Etched in a calendar page
I keep gluing hope
Back in the same fragile shape
Porcelain promises
Softly collapsing in place
Porcelain promises
I'm scared to leave
Scared to stay
You say
"Just trust"
Voice on a thread
I close both fists
And bleed instead
