LOVESONG



give the knife another twist
grinding in my back
 instead of sliding down your wrist
…and show me how you really feel.

hold my head underneath the waves
not letting go until
 I
 Might
 Just
 Believe
that  jesus saves
…and then set me free

wrap your hands around my neck
and watch my eyes bulge from my skull
loosening your grip just as
 the color
 in my face
begins to dull
…and then leave me be

these are the ways of love, you see
these are the ways you care for me
Always.
Letting.
Go.

Never.
Let.
It.
Show.

Cannot.
Let.
Me.

Know.
