the madness of your grace

in the hour of the last breath
before the cliff is jumped
and the red of the blood
has lost its vitality
and her lips die for words of regret

know that i have loved you
with all of my all
the universe stands witness to my sin
that when i choose to abandon you
know everything in my heart
has broken and spilled out

it is not easy to devout my all

to you

i cannot see

when you are not there but i charge on
in the lust that things will come
to a halt and i will rest
you are of war and i am a gun
without trigger

lesson

i thought i saw a light in the blizzard

i thought i had walked up to it

i thought it let me in

i thought it was warm

i thought it took my pain

i thought it made me happy

i thought it wanted me

the way i thought i wanted it

i now know i was blind in the storm

i now know i was crippled too

i now know i had been standing outside

where the cold held me down

i now know the liquids in my veins

and how i had cried

and even though i cant want it any longer

it will still never want me
