Jul 2010
I whisper to myself, the password, the key to the enemy
I feel the dirt tripping across my toes and the wind brushing up against my nose
And the air is tense as I walk alone
Into the dark that seems to be growing old
I feel your warmth though
A heart beat exists at this time
Simultaneously creating a rhythm that we could fall asleep to
And the rocks dug into my ankles splitting the bone
But I sat
And waited as the street light corrected the night
And waited for that car that we hold our breath for to come down and find us
For we have no secrets
But we still run away when they come and seek us
And that night I saw five shooting stars above my head
I didn’t make a wish
For it was to dangerous
The edge of the world was underneath my toes
I was a barefoot and my feet felt rough
I stood alone; almost considered myself tough.
