Am I good?
What good does it do
If I look away
If I turn-my-self-inside out
For you
All for you
——
All of these long days
Nights alone
All of these
Wooden sacred thrones
We sacrifice
Our hearts of clay
On the knife
Into the fire
——
Flesh and blood
Galaxies edge
Your spirit free
——
What good am I
If I look away
——
Valued soul
Hands of fate
to hold dear
show affection
cherished heart
Wide awake
Against the hands of time
Our fate
to keep or cultivate with care and affection
nurture
to entertain
To harbor in the mind deeply and resolutely
—-
But the heart caved in
Over the burning sacrifice
That we make
And we starve for affection
That we give so freely away
What good am I
If I look away
If I could
If I could
If I could
Heart of clay
-E
