Body of Mine

Body of mine,

Temple of my wisdom,

Guardian of my heart

Shelter to my mind

Body of mine,

Why is it that sometimes,

We don’t feel like one and the same

You carry my scars, you don’t forget my sins

My past wickedness has marked you

My terror have sliced you open,

Masochism seeped into your wounds

I know i’ve been unfair,

I've used you to run away and beaten you when you welcomed me back home

Body of mine,

Temple of my wisdom,

Guardian of my heart

Shelter to my mind

Body of mine,

Why is it that sometimes,

We don’t feel like one and the same

You are worth a worship, sensually addictive

strong hands, backbone, but you are not endless

How i wish i wasn’t angry with you

How i wish i didn’t feel you weak

I hate what i did to you, and i hate you let me see it through

But i am trying to make it right

Darling flesh, sweet blood and strong bone i didn’t mean to leave you behind

The pain got too much

My soul wasn’t strong enough,

to carry us somewhere lighter together.

Gone thirsty too long

You've forgotten how to drink.

So I will flood your plains, fill your river-

wash away the pain.

Body of mine,

Temple of my wisdom,

Guardian of my heart

Shelter to my mind

Body of mine,

Why is it that sometimes,

We don’t feel like one and the same

You are worth a worship, sensually addictive

strong hands, backbone, but you are not endless
