I never thought you'd drive a wedge
into my ribs
and touch the heart within
I never thought I'd lie awake
and
dream up something real
I never thought I'd keep away
from harm
for too long
I never thought I'd witness walls
fall apart and
crumble in my feet
I never thought I'd believe
in myself again
take up these fragile wings
I don't believe in an enemy
replacing something dear
so I stray away from every
smile that ends up near
to keep what's left of sanity
as thoughts weep silently
