in every man

(i find you)

By Sara Published 3 years ago • 1 min read

in every man's eyes

i look for a father

(i need a new one because all mine ever did was slap me).

in every man's hands

i look for a knife

(that's what men hold because they want to control you).

in every man's heart

i look for comfort.

(i want to be healed by the thing that hurt me).

in every man's arms

i look for a home.

(i don't know why mine never felt like one).

in every man's bed

i look for me.

(i might have lost myself in your apathy).

in every man's face

i find you.
