My Blood

The old chain 
is rusted 

miles of pain 
wear his face 

his sons so far away
his daughter beneath his feet 

Abandoned he might feel 
Pushed away,
his shoulders bruised 

I forgave 
I love 

your eyes 
are mine 
my name 
is yours 
call and 
I shall listen 

As we dig for 
our gold 
until we strike 

cut my skin, 

Ill offer you 
our blood
