watch fingertips slip into palms
hold tight and wish for everything you're too scared to say
-at least that's what i do, anyway,
I've got to wonder what you're praying for
I have a feeling
that, if i could dive into them, your prayers
(if i'm not already there)
that i would be inclined to tread water there to the edge of drowning
-and perhaps past-
If that's what it'd take to see them answered
