lyrics

...patient,
sacrificial, and jealous

it is not. It is
everything that I am not.

I've heard it makes a hero
of a common man. It fascinates me

how it seems that everyone except me

understands that. I've failed numerous
times to understand

how anyone except me would have no
hesitation to excavate with their bare hands
the ticking time bomb (the chimes of wedding
bells often sound so to me) the promise:

to love, adore, honor and to cherish
without conditions another soul
till our bodies give way
to provide escape for our souls

is, without any fear that it might explode
before it is too late for it to be disarmed.

There is nothing super about the powers
I have, but I'm learning

that

there is everything super about the powers
of love, and I'm learning

to let go of my shields, to take the armors off
(they are too heavy anyways) and march
unguarded, if ever the need arises
towards the battlefield in defense of love.
