To a friend…

My ship docked in your harbour,
my birds soar in your sky
My head found a place on their shoulder
If like this, I don’t mind if time were to fly

But every time you spoke with shaking eyes,
I could almost feel your tears roll down my cheeks.
Every time I tried to lunge into your mind,
a deep chasm his me away from your pain.

You couldn’t hide your suffering.
Instead, you hid US from them.
You didn’t want us to see you in your shackles,
so you pretended to fly with a broken wing.

You’ve spent ages letting betrayal warm your bed.
I’m afraid we’ve bonded too far to let go now
So let’s get this over with and
swim down the river to our dreams below

My lips part but the words never escape
Boulders WILL be thrown so learn how to rebound
We may be weaklings with leaking veins,
but to face adversities we can grow strong.

Now, here at the end, come to life
Let’s walk down to hell and come back alive
You let me lean on you despite your broken shoulder
Now it’s my fragile body that’ll do the same
