Wish Bone I didn’t know how lonely I was till I met you and you just continue to say things you think I want to hear yes, it is true you touch me places no one else can reach but I have more courage than most and want so many things that you can not give me starting with the truth and your fingers tend to brush against my scars the evidence of a heart that has been in battle something you can not see as a strength and my real weakness was that there was nothing I would not have done for you and my tears are another thing you see as flaws but as they have fallen and fly I think you have missed the best part of me stripping my skin to the meat of the matter where you grab my bones pulling me wishing… one day you will wake up and recognize I am not one of your chickens and until then I refuse to stand in your line "be prepared to bleed" Joni Mitchell |
