Hushed with lips hiding violent secrets;
you dressed me in her clothes,
licked the shell of my ear - her name stuck in your throat.
You've lingered for too long in the past.
Tongues that find their way over vast distances,
but you are desire bound.
So my feet drag on, in the endless desert
of your heart.
I want to come home.
Honesty like a sobbing woman.
Courage like a dying man.
Hands that hush my nervous nature -
Hands that never lie, wash me like a
river does a rock;
Soothes my hardened parts.
I want to come home.
