para que sufrir (natalia lafourcade cover)

this track features poet sarah kay's work. 
this poem is originally called "private parts".

below are the words:
the first love of my life never saw me naked.
there was always a parent coming home in half an hour,
always a little brother in the next room.
always too much body and not enough time for me to show it.
instead, I gave him my shoulder, my elbow, the bend of my knee.
I lent him my corners, my edges, the parts of me I could afford to offer,
the parts I had long since given up trying to hide.
he never asked for more.
there was no secret I didn't tell him, there was no moment we didn't share.
we could have survived underwater or outer space.

if I could have i would have given it all away with the rest of me.
i did not know it was possible,
to save some things for myself.

some nights i wake up knowing he is anxious, he is across the world in another woman’s arms.
the years have spread us like dandelion seeds,
sanding down the edges of our jigsaw parts that used to only fit each other.

he drinks from the pitcher on the night stand, checks the digital clock, it is 5 am.
he tosses in sheets and tries to settle, i wait for him to sleep before tucking myself into elbows and knees,
reaching for things I have long since given away.
