Lay Him Aside

Lay his name in the dark and let your mouth speak of others so that you might live once again and hearing of him no longer bothers Lay his blind eyes to rest and let your smiling beauty be seen so all of us in the rest of the world might have a chance to dream Lay his cold hands away and let your soul be whole again so in the night when you’re alone you’ll be safe from his forceful sin Lay his angry words aside and let your troubled mind be still so that when you again hear his voice you will hold with iron will Lay his forgotten love to sleep and let yours breath once more so that you know deep in your heart he can never again take away, what's yours
