To Conquer Pain with Love - Mariam The Believer

So come, give me your hand

Give me your heart and I’ll carry it everywhere

Believe that love still exists,

I know I do try to not drown in my own despair

How will I know if all of these tears I’ve cried

can be a river to float on?

How will I find that warm beating ribcage

that wants me to rip it open?

No, I am not a hell of a lover,

I’m finding it hard to trust anyone that way

But if I don’t give up myself

then how can I think that you’ll do it and I need that

How will I hear that pounding that never stops,

that I can’t abode?

How will I see that horizon, that constant glow

that is your backbone?

How will I know if all of these tears I’ve cried

can be a river to float on?

How will I find that warm beating ribcage

that wants me to rip it open?

To conquer pain with love,

conquer loneliness with love

conquer fear with love,

conquer body hate with love.

How will I know?

How will I find?

How will I hear?

How will I see?
