Grace

We will live in these bodies 
And we will die in these bodies
And I will ask you to bare your grace with the flower in your hair

We were made to find our other half 
But what they never told us was that other half is inside of us 
And in fact never existed as a tangible walker

And I will ask you to refresh my cold, cold mind 
Remind me of my name, because I have not found my other half 
And I will be told that I can be whoever I want once I find my grace

This land will be given all it can to heal 
And it will flourish with the thought of a home sitting upon it
And it will cry once it learns we are dying in these bodies

Only half of us lives
With a spine so fragile 
And grace in our hair
