Only One

We found love buried in the ice
melted it to cloud and we pulled it from the sky
Stitched our souls
Cut through bone
We made it over, we made a home
You said we could walk across the sea
That I was all you knew and all that you could see but you spoke slowly through
a fickle tongue
And I stopped thinking I’m your only one
We let go
Hulled our bones
Rewrote love, reddened our blood
Bedded a home where the marrow was
We don’t know why darkness becomes our fill
So I pulled the rows, lifted the lows but I’m below us still
We found hope, a flicker in the dark
pressed against the stones and the weight of our restart
Stitched its skin, let it all in
Layered it for days like the sand above our sin
You said we could walk across the sea
That I was all you knew and all that you could see but you spoke slowly through
a crippled tongue
And I stopped thinking I’m your only one
