So Easy (to hold you)

You're just so skinny, 

So easy to put my arms around, 

So easy to hug 

And hold on tight,

So easy to break

Your bones and lay 

You flat. 

So easy to love you 

And so hard to hate, 

But so so 

Hard - 

But maybe

You're the opposite, 

So hard to 

Love and so wide, 

So hard to get 

My arms around 

You, and so 

Hard to understand,

So easy to hold at 

Arms length, so easy to

Despise and so easy to 
Show contempt - 

But maybe you're the

Opposite, so lithe

and stream lined, 

So easy to worship

And so easy to put a 

Knife in. 

(Maybe you're everything, so beautiful and disgusting it's too hard too behold.)
