#17 - Undefiled

I wonder what it is not to forgive you
When I hate you for trampling on me

I wonder if it’s your having to live with the wound
 [bad word] from being hurt by the words of another

Misunderstanding each other, falling into error, we are ever helpless

I swallowed back tears so the depths of the world we felt
Would remain unmarred by pain and sadness again today
I wonder whether I can carve this present moment before my eyes
On my heart without telling myself over and over that eventually it’ll be gone

Now and again, my heart goes off-course
But every time I lose my way, I think to myself I’m not the only one lost

Beyond the white hazy sky, stars are surely shimmering
I know they’re there, I wanna believe that

If all our living ends in transgressing
Why is it we can imagine a tomorrow that has yet to dawn?

I wiped away tears so the depths of the world we felt
Would remain undefiled by anger and hate again today
We weren’t strong enough to call that day “weakness” without wavering
So we were joined together in an invisible place
At times, delicately, gently
