tribute from gravity by jebel

What have I done to deserve such fortune; I’ll call me charlatan if I will
Yet I am not diminished - I am rising mightier than before
I feel you build me, I know it to be so
And I cannot help but respond to your inner light
Effortless the turmoil is quenched and no trace remains
Stain has faded from me, freed as your face turns towards mine
Should there be a return in time I have lived among the stars for a while
And I can bear it

With your time and nurture you’ll make a change in me
And if you give of them I’ll take this willingly

Would it make you proud to have had a hand in my making
The love of the artist, the deeper connection to their own creation
A distillation of their souls

So pour all your dreams and wishes in me
Give me your breath, give me your substance
Let our cores recognise each other
Let our souls cry “You are there! You are there!”

The heated vertigo as I lose myself in your eyes
You dismantle me, you disturb me more and more
You gave a mortal wounding to keep me in sustenance
Let me be your incarnation
You make me your ever-living tribute

It’s not complicated - I must have you have me or die wanting
There’s no comfort in being a presence that sits by your side
If that’s all I can hope for, I’ll take this reward with good grace
And I’ll hold myself high
And count myself one of the blessed, cos you mark me as worthy
And should the gnawing in my guts spare me
Perhaps my loyalty shall win me another chance
Perhaps you’ll see past every flaw that caused you to withhold
Or should I be remade
Pray that I should know contentment to that day
