These weeping hands are No longer guilty Those arching aching gasps no longer endless The siren call of empty muffled against My breast bone by the yawning of my now open heart A sleepy tired thing bringing new days into my veins and with each one A glittering new way to be grateful For the sun, For my body, For the the grief that reminds me of how to be a person Tethered but strong These weeping hands are no longer guilty But oh, how the sorrow remembers - Promise you the grief hurts no less than the emptiness did

Siren
These weeping hands are No longer guilty Those arching aching gasps no longer endless The siren call of empty muffled against My breast bone by the yawning of my now open heart A sleepy tired thing bringing new days into my veins and with each one A glittering new way to be grateful For the sun, For my body, For the the grief that reminds me of how to be a person Tethered but strong These weeping hands are no longer guilty But oh, how the sorrow remembers - Promise you the grief hurts no less than the emptiness did
