Monument by J. P. Daviesbuilt her up
made a statue
and then I prayed
that God would take her worry
and bleed it all away
buried my heart
in a jar of oil and water
perfectly preserved
in a state of disarray
a thousand shades of grey
took her memory
and sanctified it
made it holy, made it pure
gave it up to heaven
and removed it from my world
