This back and forth, The static on the screen ‘In rainbows’ on repeat, Hoping this videotape, Will roll the credits, Waiting to hear the words The hero never spoke
What was once house weeds Flourished into the rose bush Growing full and wide Making the most of this bed Avoiding the closeness Stems filled with thorns Dripping that scarlet red Marked with the hearts Of all your past lovers Their names in your roots How lovely are the petals This curiosity of touch What could’ve been Has never surfaced
What chained me to this? When did I lose my freedom? This stutter in my finger tips, The shaking of my bones, Every hour spent wondering, When you’ll next return to me
Your body’s borders, These walls crumbled, All this unclaimed land, Ready for the taking, Conquer these cliffs Sail my seas, This nation of mine, Brought to it’s knees
