El Crucifijo

I'm just a stone
stuck in the earth
dreaming that you'll dig
and someday see me

I'm nothing but the shadow
of dust on the ground
the eye of the ant
that closed in sleep

Time and time again pull me out from the earth
take me to where you are, where no one can stop us

I am that word that you never
said
that remained hidden
that remained so sad

I am the crucifix
at the back of your church
that you no longer visit
that you no longer pray to

And we have died of love
but love never dies
love never dies
