...Ringfinger... ~For Dave~

[Guest Heart Like A Hole]

.ringfinger.

 

is this real? each ticking

of the clock seems so unbelievable

each sweep of the second hand

is carrying me one minute closer

to you and all we've never felt

but surely will

the words spill from my lips

and i catch a glimpse of

lines i never knew existed

until you assisted

in calling me back to life

without the edge of a knife

you make me

you make me

and i sing

and i now sing

 

so many roads i could have traveled

and never known this sensation

this elation that consumes

all my hardships

all my backward slips

and every crater in my face

if i could choose,

you told me a thousand other lives before,

if i could choose...

 

you make me

you raise me

you teach me to speak

when my mouth is finally unlocked

you loosen the tension

from my weariest frame's pieces

you show me the ways of warmth

and i'm finding completion

you make me

you make me

and now i sing

now i sing

 

countless times before,

i'd thrown the world aside

trampled down the fairest flowers

until in my hands they cried

and another part of me died

but the second hand is moving me nearer

and i'm fast approaching liberation

i never knew that all i was seeking

was waiting for me to claim it

and you make me

you make me

suddenly i have hands

dignified

pacified

my old ways denied

we're finding our way

back to the beginning

a fresh, new way of saying

that this will be the first

of the rest of our days

you make me

you make me

and i sing

now i sing

 

if i could choose,

i'd choose you

i'd choose you

 

i choose you
