under all this skyyou take my handunder all this sky by ~Lomaiwe
and lift me to my feet.
you taught me how to trust you
go against my instincts
and tell you, darling,
where i hide my fears.
maybe i dreamed you up
long enough to drop the razor?
tried so hard to be a woman—
to be an entire woman,
not just openings
and curves to desolate.
and i’ll never know why
you chose to supply
the greatest love
to the girl who lacked.
no, i’ll never know why
under all this sky
you chose to love
the girl who was cracked…
cover the cracks…
cover the cracks…
you take my hand,
and i do not retreat.
you stand beside me proudly
and surround me in safety—
you remo
barreni've wrought my soul rawbarren by ~Lomaiwe
with all the electric life of
a barren woman in denial,
charged with the need for a child.
my daughters should spring from my throat
and my sons from my fingers...
but my mind is my womb,
well dry and sparking
in desperate, last-ditch hope efforts.
but i cannot conceive.
when they say i look well,
its an apologetic lie.
they truly say my skin is dull,
my eyes are dead,
and my hands and mouth are empty.
beside you, i staybound in the expanse of sleepbeside you, i stay by ~Lomaiwe
bound in the expanse of sleep
i hear your voice and suddenly lift…
(hmm)
held in the expanse of dream
held in the expanse of dream
the shadows aside of what is perceived,
it won’t strangle me, this tendril has leaves…
oh, i won’t let you cool without me—
i decided long ago.
for every question, you’re my answer.
wherever you may step, i also want to go.
(hmm)
(hmm)
your name’s in my sky
your name’s in my sky
beside you, i stay, beside you i’ll be.
whatever takes you must also take me.
oh, i won’t let you cool without me—
i decided long ago.
