Sitting in the sunlight,
I gaze upon the past.
I think about my movements,
the first and then the last.
I look to life for magic,
for the things that slip away,
I look for inspiration,
to things to show my way.
I thought you were the perfect one,
the woman that was just for me.
I thought that you were my other half,
you were the shore to my endless sea.
I thought that I could love you more,
could be more then you could stand.
I thought that maybe you might learn to love,
untill that other man.
that which saves me
cannot destroy me
so the good book says.
that which hurts me
but lets me live free
lets me live again.
in your arms
i find salvation
in your warm embrace.
i thought my truth
was that i was fallen
salvation in your face.
I can spell the out my rejection,
with every drop of blood.
as the knife its scrapes my body,
my sins fit me like a glove.
I can trace out all my failures,
with the razors dulling edge.
But I cant cut out the shame i feel,
or the feelings that i dredge.
I cant find not resolution,
or some feigned epiphany.
I cant hide aways my visage,
from the eyes that always see.
I cant run from all my isssues,
I can hide from all my pain.
You cant ever really stay clean,
when pain coats you like the rain.
