When and if you fell for me,
I wanted it to hurt.
I wanted you to bruise your knees,
just like I had done for you.
But you didn't fall; not even close.
All you did was float away.
And that hurt more than any bruise.

"Sweet light"

Maybe I was lost;
And maybe you were right.

But in what seemed like tragedy,
I found the sweetest light.

It tasted like wet pavement,
Just after it pours.

And hit me like sunlight;
After a rough storm.

(m.a.)

"Bitter-sweet hope"

Your faith was shattered;
And so was mine.

So we found our refuge;
in the unkind.

We kissed our own scars,
And broke our own hearts.

With nothing but the bitter-sweet idea...
Of hope.

(m.a.)
