Within Me (Is You)

I have always loved you,

Ever since your first whisper

From the profound hollows of my soul.

I swear -

I could feel your heart, pulsing

In harmony with my own.

I wonder -

Who spilled ambrosia down my spine,

To make you so divine?

Even if I have not crafted you myself,

I can feel it in your soul

Resonating against my lungs.

Perhaps you carry, my breath in yours.

You have always been apart of me,

But I do not deserve your grace.

I know you’ve felt the waves

Of agony coursing through me.

How do you find sanctury in me still?

I will bear your crosses as my own,

And make you my only purpose.

I will relinquish the devils I hold -

So you can be the only presence

That I give reverence in my soul.

You are the only peace I’ve know -

The only peace I’ve craved -

Beyond all the pain I have store.

So I will tame the beasts in me,

If only I can cling to your embrace.

Until I have reaped enough virtue

To be apart of you.
