We swore our hearts would intertwine -
A pleated strand of promises, fleshed
Like willing fingers intermeshed

In the Cross and Even Time,
We poured our feelings forth like wine -
As if in that aged and crimson stream
We'd alluviate to a single dream...

In the Cross and Even Time,
To Heaven's Gate, we timid climb -
To seek a respite from our shame,
Abandon grief, impoverish blame...

In the Cross and Even Time,
We sang a crooked nursery rhyme -
We choked back truth, while lust enflamed,
And left behind childhood's dreams unclaimed...

In the Cross and Even Time,
We untainted the victim and discharged the crime -
And received a due, a reverence fleeting,
That your voice is the sound of my heart beating...

In the Cross and Even Time.
