Book of Longing

now look at me married to everyone but you

I’m angry with the angel Who pinched me on the thigh And made me fall in love With every woman passing by

you would look at me and it never occurred to me that you might be choosing the man of your life

Why do You rule against me Why do You silence me now When will the Truth be on my lips And the Light be on my brow?

I see my life In full review It was never me It was always you

I want to love you now I want to love you then I want to love you never And then begin again

And yes she lied about it all Her children and her husband You were meant to judge the world Forgive me but I wasn’t

Beloved, I’m yours As I’ve always been From marrow to pore From longing to skin

I make my plans Like I always do But when I look back I was there for you
