For one human being to love another

FOR ONE HUMAN BEING TO LOVE ANOTHER;THAT IS

PERHAPS THE MOST DIFFICULT OF ALL OUR TASKS…

THE WORK FOR WHICH ALL OTHER WORK IS BUT

PREPARATION.

My Skin-Natalie Merchant
Take a look at my body
Look at my hands
There’s so much here
That I don’t understand
Your face saving promises
Whispered like prayers
I don’t need them

I’ve been treated so wrong
I’ve been treated so long
As if I’m becoming untouchable
Contempt loves the silence
It thrives in the dark
With fine winding tendrils
That strangle the heart
They say that promises
Sweeten the blow
But I don’t need them
No, I don’t need them
I’ve been treated so wrong
I’ve been treated so long
As if I’m becoming untouchable
I’m a slow dying flower
I’m frost killing hour
The sweet turning sour And untouchable

O, I need The darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
O, I need this
I need A lullaby A kiss goodnight Angel sweet Love of my life
O, I need this
I’m a slow dying flower
Frost killing hour
The sweet turning sour And untouchable

Do you remember the way
That you touched me before
All the trembling sweetness
I loved and adored?
Your face saving promises
Whispered like prayers
I don’t need them

O, I need
The darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
O，I need this
I need
A lullaby
A kiss goodnight
angel sweet
Love of my life
O,I need this
Where Is dark enough?
Can you see me?
Do you want me? Can you reach me?
Or I’m leaving
You better shut your mouth
Hold your breath
Kiss me now
you’ll catch my death
O, I mean it
