Second-Hand Lives
Ask for help
I’m right here now
Hold your breath
Wither on
No place to run to
No place to go
This place
Your home
Ask for help
I’m right here now
Take your step
I won’t hold you down
Hoard your breath
Wither on
This place
Is your home
Beneath the moon
We hid till noon
Deeply felt
I’m outside of you
Grace your path
It’s all we have
Where wonders fade
We will go
Your air
Is built
Of broken
Breaths
Your ground
Is soft
No place
To step
No bridges
Spare
No thoughts
Too rare
When
No memories
Flare
You asked for help
I’m right here now
Hoard your breath
I won’t hold you down
Wither on
This place
Is your home
