Gauzy
Glass
God




Gauzy

Tear in my head a-dripping down my nose

I'm so lost for you


I've tried to hide you coming into me

I thought it worked out well


Touch your hands against my lips

What love is this


Crash when I show the world to you

I wasn't what you wanted after all


The king of his own universe

I am the beggar hidden in the tower




Glass

I can't go on without you

I'd like to tell myself I can


Shaken by too many things

I wish I were stable like you


Believe me when I say

I'd like to help you out


But like a child turned from

Abandoned

Told to speak only when spoken to


I live my life like it needs to be lived

I carry your glances and scent

in my mind


Rejected soul, broken heart

I live, I die, I grieve


Can't keep waiting for you

Like glass I shatter easily


Needing my second chance

I'm lending myself to you


Unraveled cord burning slowly

Fire fueled by you


How does it end


Ashes to ashes

Dust to dust




God

Unsuspected and sudden

Beauty most often happens when your

Heart is sunken and the world

Seems far above from where you

Once stood on that pedastol on the ground


While this outside beauty

May have been raped by that same

Uncaring God for whom

I crucify myself repitiously the sudden

Unexpected beauty will rise

Above the clouds into the

Arms of a higher force
