You showed me the best side of yourself.
I remember wanting to forget.
The glare of cold places, of forlorn dreams eyed.
Absence and deafness, closed tight in a ball
...Memory. I rocked you against
The crescent shadows of my youth, to find
Hidden in that house, so deep
Beneath the boards of the floor, no stain
Nothing even left over to pity.
Beneath my fingernails and skin
The rest of gravity's hold so like sand, beneath
The tophat tipping, and fated fall.
Beneath the weeping willow's lashing,
The arms of the hurricane splashing.
Wave by wave, sending; day by day
Changed again by this rediscovery... Pain...
What we choose to do with ourselves
When the truth glows ruby-dark, and we see
In the chaos from nothing, nothing again.
-
You showed me how to become,
And I always knew what I was. I figured
The name we spoke to talk
Would cover us in more than our blood,
And our fingers could touch
Beyond the fences and signpost...
I figured the delivery of the truth
Would come first hand, and that love
Give birth to herself again, again.
And now there is no reason, all else
Has fallen to temptation, otherwise.
And I stand back and gasp,
And I am still who I've known,
Afraid of being lost, and even alone.
Nothing wrong, given a choice
To feel the loving rays pierce;
Nothing gained, nothing lost.
Finding this light in the love.
