She talks me down like I’m on the roof
Like only a book could ever be proof
Of what is true
But she doesn’t see what I’m pointing to
I ask her questions, she gestures lies
Like the heart is always in disguise
And never can be revealed
Like love is something that has been sealed
Inside a vault
And it’s all my fault
When the rage arises
And there is nothing that disguises
The moment when
She shatters me all over again
Like a glass lampshade breaking on the tiles
A gift from something that she defiles
In her anger and pursuance
I’m startled and fluent
In a language she cannot speak
She only tells me that I’m weak
When I try to put forth
An analysis of divorce
Between the spirit of life
And the way you’re living in spite
Of all that has been sent
To you, I look and don’t know where it went
As we watch forms on the screen
Moving in and out of a coloured scene
I thought this must be heaven, she knows who I am
But three seconds later there’s another plan
That takes her further afield
And I know that should I yield
She would gather me up like the wind
And convince me that to be free is to have sinned
And I cannot buy
That particular brand of shy
Like I should hide my light
In the brutality you ignite
As you make strange
I lay down and the atoms rearrange
Over my head
As I wake in bed
A heavy weight pressing down upon my skin
And this was ten years before I met him
And his eyes lit up
And I knew love
In the instant he gazed
Into my eyes like his soul was saved
And maybe it was
Maybe he left because
We had separate paths to learn
But I know that with every twist and turn
I’m somehow making my way through the forest
Back to the man that keeps me honest
And my futile tries to build a bridge
Is walking over hacksaw ridge
Trying to sled a sleigh
But he tells me there’s another way
And just takes my hand and touches my heart
And suddenly the monumental starts
To unfold
I never knew that fields of gold
Could manifest in this dimension
And that space time is just an extension
Of a deeper kind of whole
I just want you to know you are my soul
