They Bring Me To You by Joshua Radin

toil

my haggard wrists

lift me up
into my story

every day
i reach further into you

the end goals i have
solidly in mind,

red candy hearts
melted
in my hands.

i hold very little (to show)
you my
proverbial efforts  i
keep trying

someday

it will come.
my

sorry haggard story
lifts itself up
out of here, it

bears the weight
of all my mistakes
pulling out

the gravity sound

of millions of critics
in the cavities
between you and i

i see
your hand in the dark
i see

how it is in the morning,

every day, without you.
this is

why i write. it is,
simply, a game of

tug and war...
