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
