"If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don\\\'t, they never were." -- Khalil Gibran


I taught you my Indian rain dance
You learned how to kill the buffalo
You barter with knives
Sharp like your shoulder blades
I hold when you’re above me
Carving holes in both my palms so that
When I try and cover your eyes
You can see right through me
You can see right through me

i like the last part... the fact that the narrator carved holes in his palms so covering the other person's eyes is pointless. i read it again like six times, which i dont usually do :) great job
