i love you
DESPITE WHAT YOU MAY THINK,
i DO love you,
i CAN TAKE IT ALL AWAY
HOW MANY NIGHTS HAVE YOU WONDERED
WHERE YOU STAND IN THE WORLD?
HOW MANY NIGHTS HAVE YOU STARED AT YOUR CEILING,
HOPING INVISIBLE EYES WOULD OPEN
AND STARE BACK?
THEY AREN'T
THERE
TO HEAR
YOU
BUT i
AM
INTRODUCTIONS ARE FOR THE MORTAL & THE WEAK,
i COME TO YOU
AND BRING YOU PEACE
SALVATION
LOVE
i BRING YOU BREAD
CHEESE & CATTLE
WINE
SONG
AND DANCE
i PLAY THE TAMBOURINE
& SMILE THROUGH GRITTED TEETH
MY love FOR YOU
IS FAR TOO WIDE TO EXPLAIN
WITHOUT
RIPPING IT OUT OF MY CHEST,
IN EDEN,
THE FIELDS ALWAYS SPRING,
YOUR MIND WILL QUIET,
COMMUNITY WILL HOLD YOU IN ITS WARM EMBRACE,
AS YOU CIRCLE TOTEMS
WITH POSIES IN YOUR HAIR,
YOUR CUP RUNNETH OVER
YOU WILL NEVER WORRY OF EARTHLY POSSESSIONS
OR WHAT YOUR PURPOSE IS
YOUR PURPOSE IS TO love m.e.
i BRING YOU INTO THIS REALM TO ENJOY YOURSELF
STEP BEHIND WATERFALLS AT NOON
& FIND me INSIDE A TREASURE CHEST
IT'S COLD,
YET i AM THE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
COME CLOSER,
COME CLOSER,
OH, i'm SO INVITING
STEP BEHIND WATERFALLS BY THE END OF JUNE
& YOU'LL FIND NYMPHS PLAYING THE FLUTE
HOW i HOPE THEIR SHARP TEETH DON'T DETER YOU
IT'S FOR PROTECTION,
YOU SEE
THEY'RE TRYING TO TAKE MY loves AWAY FROM ME,
DO YOU AGREE?
WHAT DO WE DO TO HUNTERS??
WHAT DO WE DO TO IMPOSTORS WHO ATTEMPT TO KILL OUR EDEN??
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS
REMEMBER?
REMEMBER,
REMEMBER,
REMEMBER?
DON'T YOU REMEMBER?
REMEMBER
RE
ME
MBER -
.
your cup runneth over
and yOUR wine tastes of iRoN
it stains your lips
and sticks between the cracks of your teeth
you've earned your place,
in the palace of eve
