All People Equal

I cannot restrict your freedom

Because I will not forfeit my own.

We deserve equality.

But perhaps it is not possible.

I stay in, not because I have to

But because all I know is here.

You have adventure

That heart that leads you elsewhere

And I cannot have that

Because it is not intrinsic.

You are gone

And only I remain.

In our bed on a summer's night

I question why you have not

Come home.
