Words for Joy

I am the daughter of envy and lust and you are the canvas for all of my sins

It wasn't until she came back homeand her soul ached at the sightof everything his hands had touchedthat she realizedThere was nothing from thattown that she needed,except him

I thought it was enough to love with my heart while sedating my mind I thought it was enough to love with my body while numbing my spirit But then I met you And I realized it was never enough until I learned to love with my soul

When I'm with youI forget to see myself as the broken bodythat I live inWhen your eyes look at memy whole shell melts away,and nothing is leftbut a sunset-colored soulthat was made to live this lifewith you

It's hard to explain,the way it feelsto love another so deeplythat you lose yourself

I always envied her for thegalaxy she built around her body,the way she pulled people inand burned bright enoughto make them stayShe was their sun,and I will never knowhow to glow the way she did

I wish you could hearwhat my soul is whisperingevery time my mouthcan't find the words
