“lover’s generation”

i’m full of resentment for you and myself

old flames left scars i love, yet irreversible

i fell in love and made a mess all over the world

all because i couldn’t commit to one you

you remind me i’m irresistible

that i was not the one who asked, you chose

so that even in the face of failure and delay, we hold out for the inevitable wind of change

we serve a God that will return and make it right again

so i watch you from afar, thinking you are in love

you laugh at my comfort in being alone

both with fantasies of the other bearing the throne

both dreaming of the same gold,

we share the same crown, we are one empire

we are one home
