From the Bottom
Top to bottom Upside down Inside out Under and over Everything in between Your love covers me When I couldn’t feel any more empty in this pit, my chasm of darkness and pain Your love awakens me anew Patience You woo me with your patience Your lips drip warmth and wonder, hope in the grave of despair and loss When darkness threatens to invade all that I am, all that I have Your love is the flicker of light, dispelling the darkness When I cannot conceive of the light, you sit with me in the dark, groaning and waiting I can feel your warmth beside me, hear the echo of your own lament I could howl this guttural wailing forever but your person settles my soul I am but a shell of my former self, but you love me more than her, your light-hearted bride Why? Oh how I’ve asked that question Why? Your pain You find purpose, calling out into the darkness Those truths that rocked the whole world Top to bottom Upside down Inside out Under and over Everything in between Those are the honey on you
