They stored their passion in the creasesIn the corners of their mouthsEvery angle of light from the open windowWashed their aged faces outShould we feel guilty, they saidShould we feel guilty for this sinLord, did we kill a man and womanJust to lie her skin to skinI wasn't happyI wasn't happy where I wasWhat is life without a purposeWhat is purpose without loveI pray my children will forgive meThough I bade the river floodI have washed my hands a thousand timesBut still can see the bloodI still can see the bloodOh great mercy, I am here to beg forgiveness for this messI know I tore two worlds apartBut I can't change the way I feltLove swept in like a storm and ripped the hinges from the doorsLove poured in like a floodI couldn't stop it anymoreI will not beNo I will not be drownedShe said, lover come and hold meI am terribly afraidWhile you're shouting at the starsMy scars are not fading awayHe said, darling, I was begging heaven make them disappearBut see, I didn't get an answer or at least one I could hearNow I am thinking of the past and how we both said vows and liedAnd I am wondering how we trust ourselves to say a second timeTo say a second timeTo have and to holdFrom this day and onwardFor better or for worseFor richer or poorerIn sickness and in healthTo love and to cherishTill death do us partTill death do us part
