Found myself lost in the spiral around your eyes,
How could I even guess the color?
I saw the Creator behind your lenses,
I've been confused ever since
The days march on, but I'm not alive
Too focused on defending myself
Of the angels you hold dearly
I'm starting to believe you are the monster,
Heaven forgive me
Why was I cursed to live past 33 years?
The curse is a blessing, I'm told
But it hurts to be surviving
Knowing I should be living
I left you at the altar like I was told to
But it's broken me in half
My heart bleeds in between us
My life song still entangled in yours
G-d, Spare me anymore nightmares!
But the Heavens remain silent,
Hidden from my view
All I can see is the chaos we made
The night you laid me down,
The night I screamed another's name
Do you remember, Bethel?
Do you remember the name I screamed?
It was that night I identified an angel,
But is this angel on the right or left side?
I can't say right or wrong,
For to me the directions all seem wrong
Oh Lindsey, why did you return?
You were supposed to spare yourself,
But you came to me in a dream,
You said you'd see me in 3 years
I've waited 15 already, what is 3 more?
Notice my confusion now,
This poem was meant for Bethel
But it became about you,
The most beautiful lake I've seen
So my eyes are buried in the sand again,
I don't dare look to the Creator,
My shame is great involving you
Because the devil's name begins with L,
And you, the most beautiful of all creation I've seen,
I made you an idol, Heaven forgive us
They weren't involved,
Heaven forgive me
Good angel, come wash the soot from my body again
Make me pure again,
Before I embrace the dark
Wash me pure in His blood,
Wrap my heart in mystery again
