Crushed against the certainty
of what I know is true
Held against adversity
all the winds, that blew
Beat upon the rock
love's bitter truth of stone
Heart and soul unlocked
left battered and alone
I'll not gloss over the intent
or mellow in the fold
What was made, and bent
yet held up as purest gold
That, that was forever
and locked within my depths
Is now a flowing river
all the tears that
I have wept

or mellow in the fold
What was made, and bent
yet held up as purest gold
That, that was forever
and locked within my depths
Is now a flowing river
all the tears that
I have wept
