Stay Visible

The road opens wide
There is space here for two of us
If I could slip under the wire
We'd wait here
Just stay here a while
Slumped, the body's tired and this fear
Never lets me sleep
Your smile
This trial elates
In your eyes
I see mothers open gates

If fortune could smile
There'd be room here for two of us
And I would burn myself through the wires
With hate
Concentrated
Unearthed
Disparate
In time

Once in a while
If peace held for two of us
If we could show mercy a while
With patience
Transcending
This coldness, never ending, thru time

And if home still matters
And if these bones
Were not so shattered
What state so desperate
Within a hollow shell, in a forgotten state
Come tear the dirt from my eyes
