you all speak of God and of angels like looking at one won't burn your eyes and touching one won't singe your skin and smelling one won't scorch your lungs you forget their thousand eyes and warrior tendencies-- their ability to detach and to fly and to cast unworthy ones far away you all speak of God and of angels like you know them. have you seen one light up a city or set fire to the droplets that fall from the sky? you know nothing of the blood that runs from my lips every time they kiss me you know nothing of the cuts on my palms from the ridges on their hands you all speak of God and of angels like your heart won't ache for them like your heart won't break for them like loving a celestial being is easy loving someone who brings you pain is not easy. loving something that can only hurt you is arduous.

there's another version online that's slightly different. I think this is still a work in progress.
