You escort my heart out
From under me
Massaging and loving
Persuading and wooing
Charming and convincing
Subtlety turning
Toward cowardly convictions
Flatlining the beat you set in motion
Placing it on the pavement
While you disappear
Just for a minute…
Dear…
Seasons pass then reappear
My heart long succumbed
To your dead cold air
Another burnt strand of hair
Another scratch against the mirror
Lest you uncover your ear
Detecting my heart alive and vulnerable
These are the wounds
That etch me into a souldier
born again
I need you
I need you
Young again
Foundations built on lies
The sky is blue
You convinced me it was white
Now having eyes of my own
Like a baby being born
I am happy to be young again
Two were to become one
But you chose to blend with the rest of them
And scatter me to the sea
A burned lovers ashes
Sinking down to the fishes
But I rose to the surface
With hair of babies breath
And eyes of wonderment
I am happy to be young again
Cleansed from your darkness
Redefining what beautiful is
