I have been dragged through hell
To get a little closer to heaven
All at the same time
Maybe at the wrong time
Time that was filled with good intentions
But I can still sink in shallow water
Without a thought
Without a wonder
Blessed those that know
The act of love and
Not merely its consequences
For it was over before
It really got started
The light is so blinding
I can barely feel the burn
I am too far now to feel
Anything but distance.
