Lady Frankincense
Can I have a world?
Your life is just a girl in a spotted dress.
Lady Sandalwood
It’ll never be as good
As when you were actually in love.

You can’t reclaim the past.
So don’t let me catch you compromising your integrity.

There’s a light in the temple
And she sits in there.
Faith and the sound of her voice faintly follow nowhere.

Faded hand-me-down
Torn, yellow, worn.
A napkin to be used and then thrown away.
Painted figurine, standing on the shelf
Just waiting to be polished and loved.

Sometimes you’ll feel the pain
But don’t holler, he can’t heal you
Not from the inside.

There’s a light in the temple and she sits in there.
Faith and the sound of her voice faintly follow nowhere.
