(from HEART LIKE A HAMMER) EVERYMAN I am what the boy inside everyman wishes he could have always told you From the first missed step as you passed on the playground Every pull of your best Sunday pigtail You didn’t understand. You didn’t see the signs He couldn’t say it But I can I know what you’ve done to him Skipping through recess Tumbling across the young green grass I am the words he wanted to say I am the voice that he couldn’t speak I am the sweet slowgrowing sweat That moistened the palms between your hands on that first Date that ended too soon/too sad/too late I am the hope behind his eyes Waiting for the simple sign of safety when you blinked I am the lean when he reached over to kiss you And I am the breath that was touching your cheek Your neck Your shoulder Your hesitation I am the footsteps he hid as he followed you Home without you knowing I am the phonecall you were waiting for that night as You stood in The rain The wind The middle of the crowd alone in The storm At the corner I am the wind swept snowfall for two The ice The calm The leaves he was raking that autumn when you watched him From your window I am the needle that wore out that record I am the number of times his lovesong was played I am here- born witness of loves great mystery I am the questions he never asked The answers he never gave The song he never sang for you The mouth he would not kiss you with The hand he would not hold The hangnail that dragged over your skin as he touched you The things you were waiting for as you walked out The door. I am the words that explain how the crime took place. The one who gave the perfect alibi. I am why you no longer say forever. I am the one here All these years later Writing these words. For me. For him. For them. For you. I am the one asking for forgiveness. I am the one willing to set it right. I am the one boy That became the one man That will finally say the one million reasons why. I am the reason you’re reading these words And you are the reason i I will Not Leave Until you understand That I love you. -MICHAELXAVIER
