Pretend I’m trying to save you
when I hold your head under water.
Call it baptism instead of drowning
and let the water take your sins
as it takes your breath.
Salvation comes neither easy
nor cheap, my love.
You have to show some faith
if you ever want to walk on water.

Dust to Dust
If I could make something solid
from the love I carried for you
I would break it into pieces
so small it would be like dust
I would scatter it without a word
of remembrance, only the wind
howling
