Here I lay with these ribbons tied
at times I find myself asking
why, why?
I live in a box
a guard blocks my way
and I can hear you pacing
on the other side.
I lean against the makeshift wall
sometimes
I can feel your heart beating.
I cry to the darkness, the cardboard night
which melts into sudden immense light
and a hand extends out to me
one comforting and caring
a chest holds me
one warm and wantin
I know your hurt
I know your pain
You know mine
you feel my shame
we lay here these ribbons tied
I finally stopped asking
why, why? |
