Peace Calls
Allow me to make this suggestion
By all means you can oppose
Carefully listen, boldly take these steps with me
Dotted lines, that once held our names
Easy the journey seemed, tough one it really was
Fairy stories, never knocked on our doors
Gambling for love, fighting non stop was all we did
Here I am, there you are, distant with every ticking clock
I hated you with a passion, you couldn't stand my guts
Jagged edges were our playground
Knots on our heads as we drove each other crazy
Love, the one word that never found refuge in our hearts
Morning intoxications led to
Nightly insanities
Organized hurts and cuts
Prescriptions couldn't do the trick
Quarreling
Rumblings
Slicing
Tearing
Ugly words from our ugly hearts
Vibrated the compass, covering every corner
Wisdom i've sought, now i want us to try
Xenoglossy is not my speciality, I hope am clear
Younger no more, a fixer I've become
Zenning out the bitter past, as we build a peaceful future
