You're not an Angel

you’re not an angel

and neither am I

you came from the earth

you didn’t come from the sky

you’re not holy

you’re not divine

you are heavy

and so am I

you’ve got bruises you’ve got smells

you’ve got blisters you are cells

building a body you’re electricity

you’re energy you’re acids and oils

you are warmth

and breath

you are tiredness and sadness

you are questions and doubts

you are ecstasy and joy

you are laughter and love

you’re mistakes, decay and a sky that fades

from grey into orange

you are blood, pumping blood

you are nerves under skin

you are muscles moving

you can do anything

you can sing

and swing

and swim

and run

over a field of grass

No you’re not an angel

you’re flesh and depth

and I long to caress you

to be caressed

you smell your sweat

to get ocean’s wet

to kiss your lips

and hold your hips

hold you close to me

Na na na na

you’re not angel

and neither am I

we are animals

we are alive

and when I’m with you I know

my toes and my bones

I know the ground

with all its stones

my limbs feel soft

my skin feels soft

my teeth feel sharp

and my muscles strong

I know the air in my lungs

and the light in my eyes

from the sun that shines so bright in the skies

I know my eyelids, my tongue, my womb, my bum

and all the little hairs on my arms

yes I loved you with my body as I loved you with my soul

and when you left me you left a hole

in my being, I can’t see, I can’t breath, I just can’t be

so won’t you keep your mind to the ground

there’s nothing wrong with being bound

you know heaven is here on earth and life is for living

Na na na na
