forgiveness

words spill from my lips like rain but none are right
tears fall from my eyes like diamonds but none are real

kiss the words from my mouth
wipe the tears from my skin

see me
hold me
know me
love me

i feel your fingertips on my back
i feel your heartbeat in my veins
i feel your lips on mine
i feel my hands in yours

when i open my eyes i see you
when you open your heart i hope you see me
