I could never be
what you wanted me
to be

I could never reach
never touch
the heights you said you could see

I'm sorry
I wish I could
But I am me

I am frailty wrapped
in a varnish of strength
Broken by a breath

Breathe life in
past my cracked lines glued
by straining fingers

Hold me together
Pull me aright
I need you

Find me here
find me here waiting
on my knees crying

My hands are weak
my knees, they shake
my heart, it quails

I cannot reach
I will try to touch
your fingertips

So far away and yet so near
you dwell within
within my fears

I'm sorry
I wish I could
But I am me

I am frailty held together
by loose bands of love
the varnish cracked

Breathe life in
as you did to Adam
a soul awoken

As you led eve
let him be my conduit
to you
