07 Apr Tearing of the Veil
You saw the sacred spring where I was drowning
Under the sheets, a single breath is too much to bring
We spoke in our hearts but kept silent fearfully
Out in the park, twice I caught you sleeping
Yet I still start the prayer you’ve been needing
And I breathe you in
From above I witnessed the tearing of the veil
I commend to you my flesh
And what all that should entail
But I’ll never bare my soul
When our tongues speak, it tastes conversation
And your body speaks and my body listens
Over the sheets and over and over again
Among all the stars, I watch them still spinning
Holes in the dark, and still they are dimming
Just like we are, even in the ways we pretend
Like I breathe you in
From above I witnessed the tearing of the veil
I commend to you my flesh
And what all that should entail
But I’ve never bared my soul
When we have met in the wilderness lately
I haven’t said yet why it weighs on me greatly
That all of my breath goes over my tongue
Why I breathe you in
From above I witness the tearing of the veil
I commend to you my flesh
And what all that should entail
But I can never bare my soul
