EYE

I found your eye in the bottom of a waterfall
I’m unaware that the face in the mirror
is a picture of my only friend
You made me for perfection
Then you called me human
I bleed when you cut my skin

I arise from the bottom of this waterfall
a dirty angel
Nothing less than a slave to chance
and the roll of the dice
Somehow in your absence
Your loving hatred kindness
I’m convinced that you are blind
Most of the time

In my apologies
In my offenses
In my two cents
the weight of my salvation
Suspended and hanging
On one tight thread

You are nothing but a dream to me
And you are always out of reach

I am caught in the undertow of this waterfall
I’m reminded of the truth
That I’ve always been your property to break
A well-designed conundrum –
To err is only human, but I forgive you
And forgiveness is always divine

I could wake up with a gun in my hand
and a bullet in my head
I’m afraid to face the consequence
That I am human
I’m far from perfection
But I exist
Now my luck is all worn thin

It’s in the sum of my fears
It’s in the corner of your eye
you hear me cry in the dark
see me shed a tear
in the sound of a hopeful prayer
you never want to answer
Because I’m only human
And I motherf**k**g love

the taste of my sins.
