Defeat the wind, drown the rain
Smother the pain they think they bring
No matter, baby, I’ll just breathe you
These waters are murky, but our love is clear
Wrapped up in you, nothing can hurt us here
I’ll take the lashes, not feel a thing
My soul came home
With the purchase of a ring
I’ll make you mine
Until the end of time
This vow I make before Heaven and Hell
I’ll just breathe you
Sinking deep into these murky waters
Poison promises of the past
Like talons tearing the flesh from my back
I’ll shield you from it all
Gasping and drowning
This toxic brew pouring into my lungs
No matter, baby, I’ll just breathe you
An apple of temptation
She tastes so sweet
I give my soul for this very feast
She’s the bargain I make to this darkness within
Smothered in her light I’ve found
My salvation
I can’t breathe. I know that song is for me. For us. It’s the gritty dark that has been our path to this hopeful light. My heart is so painfully full, it feels like any moment now, it’ll burst.
Emotion clogs my throat and burns in my eyes as I stare, clutching my chest, at my man. His eyes are locked on mine, every word he sang with Cash shining from the depths of his dark soul.
In response, my own soul stirs, fluttering in my chest.
Home.
He said my soul was home for his own. No truer words have ever been spoken, because I feel the truth of them like a scripture imprinted on my very being.
