From Cracked Lips
Lips that have kissed iniquity
Her lips parted with such ease
My lips cracked with your displeasure
For you are a jealous God
I felt your lips brush by my ear
As you spoke to my heart
These lips now utter your praises.
Today is my new beginning
I have longed for today
My today influences all my tomorrows
As my yesterdays have led to today
You have gifted me with your splendor
Today is my gift to you
These lips now utter your praises.
For Verlena's Contest, just got it in under the wire.
