mercy
Too many people I've met
Use me as a mediatory point
As some stepping stone to heaven
They climb the rungs of my spine
Like steps to the pearly gates
I am not here to absolve you
I am not some merciful god
You canβt wring forgiveness from me
Like blood from a stone
I am not here to cleanse you
I wonβt sweep dirt from your skin
Like some almighty wave -Β Β
If you want my ocean
You will have to drown for it.
