Her best friend died in September
A wonder it hadn't happened years ago
She recognized the tears would not come
So she ran to where they could flow
She sighed...
A lover can be a haven
Or a torment of need
But you are a cure for silence
And love is the place I bleed
She welcomed her with forgiveness
For the words they'd never say
A confession into a mirror
Of dreams that kept running away
And she whispered...
My lover, you are a haven
and a torment of need
But you are a cure for silence
And love is the place I bleed
The morning was unkindness
And the coffee did not heal
The quiet kiss goodbye
Was something they could not feel
But then the day did brighten
The sky took on a sacred glow
And in that holy moment
The tears began to flow
And she cries...
A lover can be a haven
Or a torment of need
But you are a cure for silence
And love is the place I bleed
