Walls That We Have Built
Walls That We Have Built
Somewhere there is a little sunshine
A ray of light
A spark
You’re not here
Sunken into it
Shaken
Defeated
My back against the wall
Eying the four corners of the room
The familiarity and safety of home
Finding my way
Holding unto yesterday
But letting go
Creating distance
Whispers and shadows
Patterns and signs
Of what is to come
While we wait our turn to go home
My forever bloom
Arose from the grave
Breathing energy
Awakening the emptiness
Of silence in my spirit
I’m not afraid
Of losing you to fate
We all have to wait
Thieves do not get rewarded
They get burnt at the stake
Tuck and pack my tears away
Heavy they are with greed
You’ve seen yellow and gray
You have lived
Lines and wrinkles
Fill your face
Dimond chandeliers
Building up and knocking down
Walls that we have built
