Held
Somebody told me I was easy to love
Not once or twice
They said it until it settled into me
Floated over me
Until I stood in a coffee shop
Neck deep in old wounds
My reactions silenced
I lost myself in their eyes
I wanted to call them a liar
I think I did with my awkward smile
And they said it again
Held my hand and waited
And I almost cried every tear I had
I almost flooded the city block
Drowned the world in it
Because maybe I'm not a trial by fire
But a heart wanting to be held
