sole communication is widely viewed
forever extinct with extreme fortitude
I only have thoughts to squeal
of love so pure, so real
it ain’t the truth
it’s all in the mind
our story forever intertwined
will it ever be fine
I am told only in time
that you would be mine
a cross of the finger
my thoughts permanently linger
I no longer believe in fate
living only to remain in a curious state
will I ever be free
from the lies that people believe
hidden forces preventing progress
provide my world of emptiness
feeling of permanent defeat
leave me with words to repeat
all I have is this poem
telling you this is my home
in the arms of my love
protecting each other from danger above
