Jewels

Hush I can’t afford to trust you When the cement breaks I’m still a figure of walking dust Out of reach with the kids So I don’t know What a soft touch is And lord forbid My conscience forgives me For living the way I live See another thanksgiving And it’s his It was said and done Long before we departed Two soldiers at heart The mischief as children We never thought to thwart The selflessness That graces this art I touched you yesterday And I just missed you today Trying to make it back to okay My adventures In this evening despair Without the consequences You and I resemble a pair A found luxury somewhat rare
