i want to talk
i want to communicate the way we did the night
you looked at me
and said it was over
i took time i never could find before
i broke the pattern of beg and push
just before you pushed me away
i gave love to you like a diminished man falls to the root
like the sun burns through the clouds in the month of may
like a reverend transcends intellect to bliss
heart held you up
i fell into rote action
expectations, expectations
strained, we met in between
to give is divine
receiving troubles me
i'm guilty as sin
i give too much thought to the graces in my gaze
yes and i gave love to you like a diminished man falls to the root
like the sun burns through the clouds in the month of may
like a reverend transcends intellect to bliss
i sweat as i sleep
and it re-ignites your scent
it's truly beyond my control
discipline's never been my strength
we manically suppressed it
we'd kill, then confront
then freely give to the wind
what we dare not display
i gave love to you
now you know the truth
my life would be incomplete if not for you
