to love at first sight?
to holding each other, through thickness and strife..
what happened when you plowed planted sowed seed
leaving me hungry in cold and in need
you left me there standing, alone in the snow
I sat down ‘n made angels, just so you know.
What ever happened
to the human plight?
the value we found in fighting the fight?
what happened when you spat cussed and cried out
hurting me badly and calling me out
you pulled me out bloodied and crusted in mud
My swelled head engulfed hitting earth with a thud.
What ever happened
to the heat of the night?
the light once was shining, turned out like a light?
What ever happened
my brother, my rib
our mother abandoned us, and took off with the crib
we’ll build us a new one
your sister I vow
together we’ll build it
we’ll start it right now.
we’ll bring back the fight, light up the night, cry out in the night…
holding on tight.
to each other.
