man of faith

i'm in love, i'm in love with a woman,
yeah, this is my confession. 

and oh my my
i've expected it to
quietly
step aside

but she's got me
cornered

she's shattered
my armor

and all i want
is a drink

so i won't
have to think
about

her expressions

you'd think
that this lesson
would have
been engraved
on my teeth
by now

brittle and sweet
they ache

brittle and sweet
we ache
