Dissolving Love

Mercy was sought on my knees

Sequestered to the riverbank

My flesh muddied and bruised

Sharp rocks cut my suffering 

I slice into my weakened arms

Blood and tears drain from me 

And rush away in baptismal sorrow

My soul washes clean you absorbed

Of the deep heartache and despair 

And your beautiful face is reflected 

In the crimson pool of my heart 

And traveling away with the current
