if we're free
who is left to be tortured?
if we've escaped
this doomed embrace
who is left to
make up for the losses?
it is all for show
when we kiss
and dance embraced.
we do not know what
tomorrow brings
in it's heavy bag
of sorrows.
we do not expect to be crushed.
we do not expect.
we do not expect to be crumbled
under a world of fear.
we do not expect the wars.
we are in love.
we kiss with obliviance.
we kiss with hope.
we kiss under a seemingly new moon.
yet the future looms over.
it casts its shadow
over our hearts.
it is not lenient.
it is not caring.
it is the cold of outer space.
it is the eater of dreams.
