Fly

You and I are nothing but flesh coloured stone,

composed of emotions that should not exist,

Maybe someday we can bring ourselves to just walk by doors we know have been

shut instead of standing outside them, howling in our misery,

pounding on the panels of wood

Maybe we can climb through the open window, our arms morphing into wings, and we can fly-

Fly away.
