meter & verse

i carry my mistakes

and she carries them too

when all i see are bruises black

she shows me the blue

i remember the tears in the morning

the dread of the veil gently falling to the floor

'cause i'll never know divinity

so inadequately i write

in meter and verse

she believes in god

but i believe in her

when my ship has run its course

she steers me back out to the sea

she won't let me run aground

i've seen the storms she's met

i've seen the tears in secret shed

she sees me as an eagle

though i am just a crow

she sees me as a diamond though i'm just a weathered stone

'cause i'll never know divinity

so inadequately i write

in meter and verse

she believes in god

but i believe in her

i stole a glimpse of you in pain

i'll take the image to my grave

you look towards the heavens

and i look up to you

i kneel because there are no words

an act will have to do

she believes in god

but i believe in. no divinity

so inadequately i write

in meter and verse

she believes in god

but i believe in her
