Lean your cheek, rest a moment on my drunken cheek So I may forget the war and cruelty inside me. You have opened the seven gates of heaven; Now lay Your hand on my tightened heart. All I have to offer is an illusion: my self. I’m not asking for some sweet pistachio candy; But your everlasting love. Fifty times I have said, “Heart, cease hunting. Step into this net.”
