Something I Wanted to Know

I wish you knew The woman I was Two years ago When I felt like someone And oh, I did laugh You wouldn't believe This young frozen heart Pumped red like cherries Oh Where were you long ago When kindness was something I wanted to know? Struck by your light With fear I was petrified Bare, honest skin, and words that reduce me To what I have always been You're a hard-wired shelf, the way I see it Displaying only photos of the best times And oh, I cry I know you cry Oh Where were you long ago When kindness was something I wanted to know? I wanted to know? I wanted to know? --- Something I Wanted To Know - Kirsten Ludwig
