Teach me a love.
Teach me a love, a happy love.
Teach me a love, a warm love,
Teach me a love, a healing love,
Teach me a love that doesn't hurt,
Teach me a love that doesn't rip my heart apart,
Teach me a love that doesn't destruct,
Teach me a love that doesn't end me in pieces,
Teach me a love that doesn't make me want to kill you,
Slow and painful,
Like you hurt me,
Deliberate and mockingly rueful,
Teach me a love that makes me rise not fall,
Teach me a love that doesn't end all bloody,
Teach me a love that leaves us alive, you and me.
