Sometimes I think about love

And its tender hands, how I wish

To hold them while the day

Is still young, feel its lingering

Stare strip every thought like a breath

Against flame, until I am no more than flesh

 

Standing in front of another,

Without fear of what may come

From my wounds

 

I often find myself

 devouring every grain of hope

As I wait for this moment

To rush through the door

And let no more time go to waste

 

Though I am alone, I have my own hands to hold, to carry along in this life,

And I will do better as the night gets away to morning,

To caress where I have clashed,

To soothe where I have stabbed,

So the sweet love that I so desperately crave

Will be born of my blood
