We used to put obedience above our sorry selves And live inside a creature made of love's redeeming cells But something came upon us, likeness something like our own that told us we could separate and sit atop a thrown Where once I was a woman who was searching for a man there now exist two people who are turning into sand And should I be the glass that you created and destroyed I've since become the ruin that you struggle to avoid My heart can open wider, be together like it was a mender and a giver and a product of the dust So what it is tonight that tries to shift my weaker parts will disappear in stillness that remains inside my heart
