I need a partner that stands beside me/ helps my anxiety/ handles business privately/ I pray they don't lie to me/ all that I want to be/ tried to be/ silence reminds me/ of the fine line between irony/ violent crime street riots/ and a quiet society/ eyes wide to see/ but no time to speak/
I believe our souls are tethered/ we were supposed to grow old together/ I swear there’s no one better/ you don't have to be alone forever/ we could make a home wherever/ made it through the coldest weather/
everything you stand for/ everything you can’t ignore/ whirling like a sand storm/ hurting like a bandaged sore/ I wish that we'd amount to more/ us together again/ days and times accounted for/ why'd it have to end/ some would say that life is short/ trouble found me again/ what is it we're fighting for/ don't turn your back on a friend/
so much to say/ but none of it matters/ all of these questions/ not enough answers/ if words could kill/ I'm headed for death/ learn to heal/ from what's been said/ I need a respite/ a break from angst/ now I seem desperate/ seeking strength/
with so many friends/ I need a partner/ 50-50 half and half/ be my body armor/ be there through the drama/ or calmer weather/ be my babies momma/ we'll bond together/ through thick and thin/ all we need's each other/ glued to your skin/ underneath the covers. | AM
Great rhythm and rhyme. I could "hear" the writer performing this piece.
