Acts

 From TELL THE WORLD I'D HOPED TO SEE IT WITH YOU

Acts of God or Foolishness

I am a less fragile thing now than

the one you held. I am neither

unbreakable nor unbroken, 

but I have to be dropped

from a higher height these days

for it to make a dent. I need sweeter

words, I need softer warmth, I need

surer arms to hold me. I won't break for

uncertain arms anymore. Insurance doesn't

cover acts of God or foolishness; I had to pay

out of pocket for the ways you wrecked me.

But now I will not hurt for less than love.

And if it's not love, I will not

hurt for it.
