Nameste
My eyes recognise who you are, they see the familiarity of past lives
When the recognition was virginal
The book of the first, the begining, and the start
As my words fail in awe of your presence
Nameste, I bow to you
Do not take my hand, for I am unworthy
I broke the ties that bound our souls
Infidelity the scissors which cut the thread
You seek now the purity I stained
All I offer, all I can do
Nameste, I bow to you
Such is this life
The breakage of the delicate sanctity of destiny
The essence escaping the vessel
Shattered, on broken glass I walk
And as blood seeps from my wounds
Nameste, I bow to you.
Mistaken, the identity of my soul mate
Ruined, the betrayal of a decieved heart
He spoke in your voice, his touch felt like thine own
Fallen, unto the spell of falsehood
And as you now appear, truth appears
In my disgrace
Nameste, I bow to you.
As your face reveals your disappointment
Those eyes reveal hope
You ask that I stand and face you now
You offer your hand once more
Eternally my remorse shall shame me
As you speak, and you say the words
Nameste, nameste, I bow to you
