hows it feel
does it feel good
to belittle someones body
diminish all their aspirations and hopes
light aflame all their securities
do you feel as human
as i feel inhuman
or did it not occur to you that i said *no

i feel like im in outer space again
because she brought me down to earth
but now shes set me free
and im back to seeing the universe once more

my hands are just too small
to hold my own life in them
and maybe thats why
i just cant seem to get a grip on anything

i remember i saw her eyes
i swear i saw her eyes
and then i didnt
it was brief

and then i saw something new
something else
something beyond what i knew as lovely
or beautiful
or kind

farther than the skies above the trees
yet deeper than an oceans crevasse

give me a year or two
yet i wouldnt be anywhere near done exploring
in fact
id ask for another year

because i swear
i swear
in her eyes i saw something else

*i know there is no god
but i believe there was one briefly
just for her
just to create her
and her lovely eyes.
