Line & Pins

I made you cry and I don’t know why
When I wanted to stay, you just said “nay”
Then I said goodbye, which made you cry
I don’t know what to do, maybe I can fix your shoes

But you made me forget how to use the awl
Hammer and nails, heels and needles, glue and threads

How am I supposed to fix your shoes
I cannot even mend the holes
In my own socks

Is it schizophrenia, when you always cry
No matter what I decide
I am born in love with the world and all its parts
Even when I hate, I feel it’s very intimate
But you look at me stale, I cannot change in the way you crave
I see no easy way out, maybe I can fix your house

But you made me forget how to use a trowel
Chisel and level, hammer and jointer, line and pins

How am I supposed to fix your house
When my mind is in the clouds
With no walls around
