Questions we asked each other
Were choked and whined and hurried
For fear of saying what wasn't mean to be said aloud
Love is the hemlock which kills and releases
That banishes us from this Earth
To only take us to a place for better
To sacrifice the heart hot faced sweating pondering jazz
Thinking of this world thinking of this bouncing unkempt world
Where mystery is sold on every corner and bought
Magic is still alive in between the sheets rustling at 5am
Where whispering is the only understood language
Where eye sight eye contact the touch of Her toe to your sole
Is the only word to be spoken all day
Breakfast heat window held high and the summer breeze
Never wishes to leave
She still moves with the memory of Him
He still sighs as if He never had her
They breathe the same air caring about the cross they both choose to bare
She is a fragment of light from the sun that He cannot handle
That she does not know she holds
Doubt hangs naked from the racist branches of a country gone wrong
Cans popped hearts of mine stops I spot the horizon I cannot stop
At these moments I question myself I question the former and the future
The future of us all
She works for the dorks who scream like the fiends
We all claim we never were or are
I tell the tale of promises because I believe them myself
How I wish to believe my promises
How I wish to believe in tales
How I wish to believe that love
Will never falter or fail
