oh, how far we've all come.
the pavements,
the doors, and the locks
all rusted and worn
we've watched our feet
step on jagged corners,
over hastily drawn borders,
and into a muddled mesh

of sunny nights and gloomy mornings

we will never live again

like this

oh, how far we've all come

the watchers,

the lovers and dearly loved friends

they've come and gone

and gone away

bone against bone we latched and let go

yet we all knew

we will never live again

like this
