Endure

Endure 


We’ll be happier 
Anywhere away from here 
Faded stars in our eyes
Darkness consume our hearts 
Bitter seeds and toxic fumes
Buried in our backyard 
Energy flows
Wherever we go
I will wait for you forever 
In your unchanging solitude 
I’m hanging on to the legends of old
The grand stories told 
Of chance
Of romance 
I sing behind my broken guitar strings
On a mountain range 
The grass is bluer there
Where jeans bleed and dye on clothing  
Raking leaves in the autumn 
Gloom and breeze 
You hold me through the storm
The demons are gone 
Free falling  from the rooftop of our house 
Onto the trampoline that dances to our every tune
Somewhere deep in the forest
True love reside
Where nature reigns and breathes life into 
The most fond of hearts
Still, we drop and plunge into the water
Before taking lessons
So we drown and nearly die of suffocation 
The learned are students of life
Those who seek knowledge for understanding 
You’ll find me outside the door ,waiting
Waiting and waiting some more 
With patience I shall endure
