Precious (a shard)

Of all the temptations

Of all that I've seen

Of all the fascinations and all memories

Of all the warm kisses

And all those lost tears

You are still the only one that's precious me

Precious

Off all the confessions

And oceans of dreams

Of all the triumphs of mankind you're all that I need

Precious

You are Precious

But when I saw you at their side

I broke the frame

I broke down and I cried

Why does the silent terrify

if all the jurors testify

that I am but an anecdote

to all the heathen's Jericho's

I'm building walls from poet's day

and broken glass lies where we lay

the serpent's 'roundthe heel of truth

the bite of doubt is all but living proof

But what I had given turned agains me

The noose of illusion tight around me

Precious

You are Precious
