her eyes brim with holy water...if i come close to her i fall in and drown....
i have fallen in often...i dont want to let myself get too close any more...when you cant seem to learn to swim you stay away from dangerous edges...yet...
i sit in her voice as she tells me surface things...between the words i hear the truth she doesnt speak...i can take this i tell myself...i can take this frozen surface...at least i wont drown...
in the church of i love you...i kneel and openly pray to a woman i dare to love until the end of all my days...i look around and see other lovers of love there too...a lonely dried out crowd...i feel my skin cracking...i know i will fall in again...but maybe this time i will float...
